The Mental Health team comprises mental health clinicians with a background in nursing, occupational therapy, social work and psychologists, all of whom have experience in helping people through a range of therapies and medical treatment.

Mental health conditions are often characterised by a disturbance of thought, mood, perception and behaviour which causes distress or difficulties.  Mild or sever, mental illness can make your everyday routine challenging or seem impossible to deal with.  It is a good idea to seek help early if you, or someone you know, is facing mental health challenges.
