The Year 8 students were fortunate enough to listen to Jacinta from Headspace come and speak with them about mental health and wellbeing. Headspace Maroochydore is a FREE and confidential support service for those aged between 12 to 25. They can help with:
- feeling down, stressed or worried
- having difficulty with something in life
- concerns about drugs and alcohol
- talk about sexuality, identity or relationships
- sexual health
- being bullied or harassed
- advice about education or work
- worried about a friend or family member
Students don’t need a referral and can drop in or visit their website: headspace.org.au to find useful information. Headspace also offers free and confidential online and telephone based mental health support and counselling. Just log on to www.eheadspace.org.au.
