Mental health teams provide supports for rural communities experiencing adversity
Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) is reminding rural families and communities that mental health support is available, as ongoing wet conditions and regional flooding impacts our area.
The Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP) has coordinators living and working in rural and regional NSW, linking and connecting people to mental health support when they need it.
RAMHP Coordinators link people to local mental health services and resources, educate workplaces and communities about mental health and wellbeing and respond in times of natural disasters and severe adversity.
Flooding has impacted many people living in rural NSW, RAMHP coordinator, Tammy Elwin is reminding people to look after their mental health and wellbeing during this time.
“If you are not sure where to start or want some advice on the best option for you, having a chat to your nearest Rural Adversity Mental Health Program Coordinator can help,” Tammy said.
“I encourage people to remember that challenging times do pass, but if you feel you need some extra support, we’re here for you and you can reach out when the time is right for you.”
