hOP has been designed by young people for young people – in partnership with their families, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, other service providers, local government and the Western NSW PHN.
Our formally qualified and trained Aboriginal Youth Wellbeing Workers live and work locally, which means they understand the issues affecting young people in their community. They will work with you face-to-face, focussing on your social and emotional wellbeing.
This program will be available across ten small Western NSW communities in late 2024:
- Nyngan, Warren and Condobolin
- Coonamble and Gulargambone
- Bourke and Brewarrina
- Lightning Ridge, Walgett and Collarenebri
Firstly, reach out to your local GP. Together you can discuss a range of support options that work for you.
You can also access free mental health coaching, through our Strong Minds Western program (you will need a Mental Health Treatment Plan through your GP).
Services are also available for young people aged 12-25 via headspace’s online and phone support.
Other support options include:
- The Kids Helpline – 1800 55 1800
- headspace
- Beyond Blue
- Lifeline – 13 11 14
- Mental Health Access Line – 1800 011 511
If a life is in danger, call triple zero or present to your nearest emergency department.
This service is supported by funding through the Western NSW PHN as part of the Australian Government’s PHN program.
