Mind Australia (Mind) is pleased to welcome four new Board members, following the recent merger with One Door Mental Health (One Door).
Professor Anthony Harris AM, Angela MacMillan, Auswell Chia and Dr Bernie Mullin joined the Mind Board on 1 January 2024.
Mind staff who draw on their own challenging mental health experiences have a unique ability to gain the trust of people seeking support and to inspire them in their recovery.
New Mental Health and Wellbeing Locals are available now to provide support via telephone and telehealth.
We asked Lisa Henderson, Service Manager for the Greater Bendigo, Campaspe and Loddon regions who they are for and how they work.
“People can pick up the phone and call us to get immediate free and confidential support,” she said.
Mind Australia and The Haven Foundation will provide housing and support for up to 46 people living with significant mental health and wellbeing concerns in Horsham, Moe and Wangaratta.
People affected by floods in Central Victoria will be able to access emotional and practical support from Mind Australia.
Mind staff are available to provide assistance in Bendigo, Echuca and Rochester as flooded rivers are likely to peak in the coming days following record rainfall in Victoria.
People in the Hamilton, Portland and Warrnambool areas can now access free mental health counselling, and support with alcohol and other drugs, all through the one service.
