Advancing Mental Health Care for Rural & Remote Communities
Unite to overcome the challenges of mental health accessibility
Unite with a community committed to advancing rural & remote mental health care.
Living and working in rural Australia can be a rich and rewarding way of life. However, factors such as geographic location, social isolation, and limited facilities can make it difficult for many to receive adequate mental health care.
When rural and remote mental health services are needed, they are often few and far between.
