MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

I Am Mindful is not suggested as a substitute for mental health support, rather an additional tool for stress management.

If mental health symptoms persist see your general practitioner for guidance. Please see below emergency resources for Australia.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger and/or need urgent medical help:

  1. Call emergency services 000 (112 from a mobile phone if 000 doesn't work)

  2. Go to the Emergency Department of your local hospital

  3. CATT Team (Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team): If you need help now, call your state's mental health crisis line for immediate expert support. They will help you work out which services can best help. This could be the doctor, a hospital emergency department or a community mental health service. Sometimes, the CATT Team will be sent to you, wherever you are.
