Riverina

Welcome to Riverina headspace!

 

We are one of 30 centres that can be found across Australia.  Riverina headspace is a youth specific service: that means, anyone between the ages of 12-25 can see us. 

 

headspace centres have been established to better meet the needs of young people with emerging mental health issues - the single biggest health issue facing young Australians today. 

 

Why would I come to Riverina headspace?

If you or someone you know would like to talk in a safe and confidential environment, this is the place for you.  People come to headspace for many reasons. Here are just a few:

  • Not sleeping well
  • Finding it hard to concentrate
  • Bullied or hurt by others
  • Worried about their drinking or drug use
  • Have noticed 'something's not quite right'
