A new headspace centre has opened in Taree, providing young people with the support they need for their mental health and wellbeing.
headspace Taree was officially launched by the Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, Emma McBride today, after the doors opened earlier this year.
Led by the Samaritans, headspace Taree offers free and low-cost support for young people aged 12-25 for mental health, related physical health, alcohol and other drugs, and social and vocational support.
Located on Biripi Country, it also offers safe and culturally appropriate support for young First Nations people.
headspace Taree is one of 153 headspace services operating nationally, with 83 located in regional communities.
There is a growing need for mental health support services across Australia, particularly for young Australians. That's why the Albanese Government is investing more than $152 million in headspace service delivery for 2022-23.
