We are excited to announce that our redesigned Mental Health Help website is now live! 

We would like to extend our thanks to all stakeholders involved throughout the consultation and redesign process, including Mental Health Advisory and Mental Health Consumer and Carer Committees.

The Mental Health Help website is a local directory of over 300 mainly mental health-based services located in the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Lithgow, and Penrith areas. Its functionality has been improved, so services can now be found by location, area of support (mental health, addiction support, domestic and family violence, etc.) and type of service (community and aged care, health service, social groups, crisis, and emergency support). Local providers can add their services to the website and manage their own listings.

In addition, the Mental Health Help website now also shares with our My Health Connector website. This health and lifestyle directory helps to reduce loneliness and improve social connectedness through community-based lifestyle and support services. Appropriate mental health services will appear on both directories while only needing to be managed through one. We have been working with local providers to ensure that the information provided on these websites is as up-to-date as possible.

We hope that you browse and utilise the Mental Health Help website when looking for local support services or programs and share this resource with your networks. If you have a service that would be relevant to either of these directories, we encourage you to add your service to Mental Health Help or My Health Connector.
