In February 2021, we sent an anonymous survey to the community. The 590 responses shared a common message: “We need help and to know how to get help”.
In response to the survey, we developed a platform for people to access information and care when they or someone around them is experiencing mental strain.
Community mental health and service availability have both declined and crisis services and overloaded.
Nationwide the following has increased:
- Suicides
- Suicidal thoughts
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Other mental health problems
Often the public doesn’t know how to help or what services are available.
