Is this the right option for me?

headspace is not a crisis service or an acute mental health service therefore headspace is NOT appropriate if:

• You are in crisis:
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis and immediate help is required.

• You are experiencing severe mental health symptoms:
If you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms, such as acute thoughts of suicide or self-harm, it is crucial to seek immediate help.

• It is a Medical emergency.

• You are in immediate risk or harm.

For medical or mental health emergencies, contacting emergency services or going to the nearest emergency room is recommended.

Alternatively, Access and Triage at Grampians Health can be contacted on 1300 247 647 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Emergency Services - call 000.
