NSW Minister for Mental Health, Bronnie Taylor, Chief Psychiatrist, Dr Murray Wright and Chairman of Lifeline Australia, John Brogden are calling on the community to be aware of their own mental health and that of their family and loved ones while the COVID-19 restrictions remain in place.
Look out for your family and friends, check in with them and see how they’re doing and, most importantly, reach out for help when you need it
There are services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Anyone in crisis can reach out at any time of day to get the help they need.
The community is being reminded that, with Father’s Day this Sunday, it can be a particularly difficult time for those feeling isolated due to the current restrictions.
