Mental health challenges in rural areas of Australia are particularly concerning, with statistics showing that one in four young people experience mental health concerns over a 12-month period.

To help tackle this significant issue, we will partner with Bila Muuji Aboriginal Corporation Health Service - an organisation that provides Primary Health Care representation to the Aboriginal Medical Services across the Western and Far West of NSW - to offer the Rural Youth Mental Health (RYMH) service.

Our mobile team will work with young people experiencing mental health concerns, supporting them towards living the life they choose. They will learn how to overcome barriers, learn new skills, connect with services, and build positive coping strategies.

The service will be free of charge and will include providing information about wellbeing and health through online or local self-services; connecting to social and community networks; referrals and case management; one-on-one services with a mental health professional; and groups tailored to promote social and emotional wellbeing in the local community.

The program has been operational since August, with an official launch timed to coincide with World Mental Health Month, October 2018.

If you have any queries about this program, call us on 1800 236 762.

You can also follow the Rural Youth Mental Health team on Facebook,@ruralyouthmentalhealth, where the RYMH team shares services related information and other useful information like the below tip for when you feel anxious:

Building on the strengths of our evidence-based therapeutic group program, our counsellors offer a combination of psycho-education and creative family sessions. These sessions help parents gain confidence in understanding and supporting their children. Additionally, we provide enjoyable family sessions to help children understand their emotions and practice emotional regulation strategies that can be continued at home. Our approach is informed by experts in parenting, children's mental health, neuroscience, and psychology.

Our Counsellors can support families facing a wide range of challenges, including:

Anxiety

Depression

Child Behavioural Challenges

Emotional Regulation Difficulties

ADHD and Autism Spectrum Parenting Support

Difficulties with Friendships and Family Relationships

Respectful Co-parenting

Developing Self-Esteem

What to Expect
In our counselling work, we begin by gaining a comprehensive understanding of your family history and the challenges you'd like support with, as well as identifying your strengths. Together, we set clear goals for the changes you want to see in your life and discuss the frequency and number of sessions required to achieve those goals.

We offer both face-to-face and online counselling options to suit your needs. For more information about our therapeutic services and associated costs, please contact us on (02) 9528 2933.
