You can ask for help

Mental health is health. Feeling low, anxious, unable to sleep or unable to cope is common and treatable. Psychiatric nurse practitioners work in clinics across all six districts.

You can ask for an appointment yourself at your nearest clinic. Your information is kept confidential.

Helping someone else

If you are worried about someone, staying calm and present helps more than having answers.

  • Ask directly and without judgement whether they are thinking of harming themselves
  • Stay with them and remove immediate means of harm
  • Help them contact a clinic or go to the nearest emergency department
