The events and restrictions we are experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have different impacts from one person to the next, however every one of us has been impacted in some way, and we are all feeling the effects of social isolation. HealthWISE can provide psychological support if you are experiencing difficulties adjusting to our new way of living. This service is being offered across the New England and North West NSW region and the West Moreton and Darling Downs region of Queensland in selected programs.
BUSHFIRE RELIEF
Bush Fires have a different impact from one person to the next and the time it takes to feel safe again varies between people. It is not only the survivors of traumatic events that are affected, but also people who are helpers, rescuers and people who have worked with survivors or the grieving. HealthWISE provides psychological support for people whose lives have been directly impacted by Bush Fires and are experiencing mild to moderate mental health symptoms.
This service is offered to communities in the New England and North West of NSW.
