headspace Mount Gambier is part of a network of centres across Australia. We can connect you with health workers to work through a range of issues.
These could include:
feeling down, depressed or stressed a lot of the time
challenges at school, work or home
relationship difficulties with your family or friends
sexuality or gender identity
bullying or abuse
difficulties finding or keeping a job
concerns about drinking or drug use
contraception or sex
health-related issues
feeling like things just aren't quite right.
Our service is free, friendly and non-judgemental. We will protect your privacy at all times. You can drop in to see us, call us or send an email.
Anyone can refer someone to headspace. You can also ask a friend, family member, teacher or doctor to contact us for you.
We have a ‘no wrong door’ policy – no problem is too big or small. If we’re not the best service to meet your needs, we will help you find the right one.

We're happy to talk with you about how headspace Mount Gambier may be able to help you.
'talk-soon' program
The 'talk-soon' program provides young people aged 12-25 access to same-day mental health support. This service uses a single-session therapy model and provides young people with tips and strategies to take away from the session to address their specific situation.
Appointments can be held in-person, online or via telephone and are available three-days a week across the Limestone Coast.

Volunteering
Youth Reference Group (YRG)
The YRG meets monthly. We discuss how headspace Mount Gambier can stay focused on young people and their needs. As a volunteer, you can provide an important perspective on how we operate as a youth friendly service and help us to keep up to date with current trends that are relevant to young people. You can participate in centre clinical meetings, and help us to plan and run events, campaigns and activities.
Youth Ambassador Program (YAP)
Our YAP is a volunteer group made up of young people aged 18 to 25. They deliver education sessions to schools and community groups. YAP members need to pass a screening to work with young people and be able to access transport.
