Youth Mental Health Organisations

0

The following are some organisations that have great resources and services to assist:

Reach Out: is an Australian youth support web site that includes a number of articles from mental health through to drug use and homelessness.  Governed by a broad group from the professional world of business and health, this is an excellent place to start researching on issues of mental health.

Beyond Blue: this is an Australian site that helps provide information on a number of mental health issues together with ways to get help and support groups.

Help Guide: is an American web site that provides excellent information on mental health issues, this link is to a teen depression article that is particularly good at explaining what symptoms might arise and how to deal with them.  There are also other great articles, including ones on what treatment is available and what things a person with depression can do to help themselves through their illness.

Black Dog Institute: There are a lot of references to the term ‘Black Dog’ which is a term used to describe issues of depression as the black dog that keeps coming back to haunt someone.  This institute is using this name for good, to equip and inspire people with depression.  With worldclass resources to equip and inform on many areas of mental illness.

Head Space: is a nationally government funded innitative to place centres for youth in regional centres where young people can go, to get help and support.  Their web site provides some great information on overall mental health issues, however their target is much broader than mental health and stretches out into sexual health, bullying and other areas.
