General Practitioner (GP) or Doctor

If you need mental health support, a good place to start is your local General Practitioner (GP), also known as a doctor. 

A GP can help you understand any medical issues you have and suggest treatment options.

Community Mental Health Service

Mental health services in community provide one-on-one or group-based support programs and activities that are tailored to a person or group’s needs. These sessions can offer helpful information, referrals, personalised support, care coordination and group activities. Many services also offer counselling and brief therapy services.
