Who is Headspace Ballarat?

headspace Centres

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.

Our 100+ centres are designed not just for young people, but with them, to ensure they are relevant, accessible and highly effective. As a result, no two headspace centres are the same, with each offering unique services that reflect the needs of its local community.

More than 75 per cent of mental health issues develop before a person turns 25.

And yet, many traditional services aren’t equipped to address the unique barriers that young people face to accessing mental health support.

headspace began in 2006 to address this critical gap, by providing tailored and holistic mental health support to 12 - 25 year olds. With a focus on early intervention, we work 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.

At the heart of our services is ensuring we meet the evolving and unique needs of young people and those who support them. Therefore, young people are at the centre of everything we do and they play an active role in designing, developing and evaluating our programs.

With more than 2 million occasions of service provided, we have helped thousands of young people get vital support through our 100+ national headspace centres, online services and clinical programs across Australia.

If you’re a young person who needs help, you can find it here.
