A win for regional mental health — and a welcome step forward for Young.

James and Helen were pleased to attend the official opening of the new Medicare Mental Health Centre in Young today — a much-needed service offering free, walk-in support for adults experiencing mental health challenges or distress.

Mental health care should be accessible, local, and judgment-free — and this new centre is a step in the right direction. No appointment needed. No Medicare card required. Just walk in and get the help you need.

Congratulations to all the partners and professionals who brought this to life. James believes rural and regional communities deserve more of this — real services, in real time, where they’re needed most.
