Opening soon!
Lives Lived Well is proud to have been chosen as the lead agency for a new headspace centre on the Sunshine Coast.
headspace centres act as a one-stop-shop for young people who need help with mental health, physical health (including sexual health), alcohol and other drugs or work and study support. Services are co-designed with and for young people to ensure that they are relevant, accessible, and delivered in a safe, confidential, and youth-friendly environment.
Our new centre will be located on Bowman Road in Caloundra, providing convenient walk-in and in-person counselling services. We are currently finalising the fit out and awaiting Council approvals, with an opening date to be announced soon. Recruitment for various roles is also already underway, with many positions filled.
Starting in mid-October, we will kick off an education and outreach program in local schools to introduce young people to the new service and resources available.
All headspace services are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health. Administration of funding is carried out by the local Primary Health Network, in this case, Country to Coast QLD. This new location will be the third headspace centre funded by Country to Coast QLD, joining the existing services in Maroochydore and Gympie. For immediate support, young people aged 18-25 can access free, walk-in mental health advice and counselling at the Medicare Mental Health Centre in Maroochydore (c2coast.org.au/medicare-mental-health-centres).
headspace also has a range of ways to support you online or by phone. You can get support for your mental health by simply creating a headspace account at headspace.org.au/online-and-phone-support.
We are passionate about enhancing the mental health of our local communities and are excited about the positive impact this new service will bring to Caloundra.
