Resources

The demand for access to mental health services is currently unprecedented, resulting in difficulty and delays in accessing services. We have put together a list of resources to support you in your wait before commencing therapy. We also recommend that anyone commencing therapy, regardless of wait time, should start the process of self-care with the resources below. Therapy can be challenging, and we hope engaging in some of these activities will support you through the process.
