Headspace
Headspace is a national youth mental health foundation providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year-old Australians. With a focus on early intervention, Headspace works with young people to provide support at a crucial time in their lives, to help get them back on track and strengthen their ability to manage their mental health in the future. The not-for-profit organisation supports young people with mental, physical and sexual health, alcohol and other drug services, as well as work and study support. Headspace runs in-person centres, as well as online and phone services, staffed by experienced youth mental health professionals that offer support in a safe environment. It also runs parent and carer events and an early psychosis program, as well as partnering with education and health sectors across Australia to build the mental health literacy and capacity of workforces. As young people are the heart of Headspace's services, they play an active role in designing, developing and evaluating its programs.
