A new project in Brisbane is going door-to-door talking with community members about their mental health and helping link them with wellbeing services in their area.
With the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic still felt throughout Australia, the Assisting Communities through Direct Connection Project or ACDC for short, is currently underway checking-in with locals.
CEO of Community Mental Health Australia, Bill Gye said “People prefer to tough it out, hide it from others, or avoid the stigma. ACDC is going directly to households in Australia to engage them in conversation about these important issues.”
