community awareness

headspace Northern Melbourne also offers Community Awareness.

One of the aims of this component is to better educate young people and the wider community on Mental Illness and ways of improving or maintaining a healthy and positive level of Mental Health.

This is done through attending and presenting at schools and community events and festivals.

These are our aims outlined in our community awareness plan:

• Raise community awareness and increase mental health literacy amongst the local community regarding issues for young people.
• Provide education regarding signs and symptoms of mental illness and associated substance use issues.
• Promoting headspace Northern Melbourne and the services it offers.
• Support and encourage active youth and carer participation through reference groups.
