Drought affected communities across rural and regional Western NSW can now access ‘NewAccess’, a free mental health coaching support developed by Beyond Blue and delivered locally by Marathon Health.
The program is for anyone aged 16 and over who is stressed, or feeling anxious or overwhelmed about everyday life issues such as work, study, relationships and loneliness.
Western NSW remains drought-stricken and the sustained stress on locals, along with uncertainty around livelihoods, can take a toll and leave lasting effects on people’s mental health.
The Australian Government funds the program via the Western NSW PHN.
