headspace | National Youth Mental Health Foundation |
headspace centres and services operate across Australia, in metro, regional and rural areas, supporting young Australians and their families to be mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.
headspace, formally the headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation, is an Australian non-profit organisation for youth mental health established by the Australian Government in 2006.
headspace is the National Youth Mental Health Foundation. We began in 2006, and ever since we've provided early intervention mental health services to 12-25-year-olds.
Each year, we help thousands of young people, and their family and friends, access vital support through our headspace services in over 145 communities across Australia, our online and phone counselling services, our vocational services, and our presence in schools.
What we do
We support young people with mental health, physical health (including sexual health), alcohol and other drug services, as well as work and study support. With a focus on early intervention, we work with young people to provide support at a crucial time in their lives - to help get them back on track and strengthen their ability to manage their mental health in the future.
In everything we do, we aim to meet the evolving and unique needs of young people and those who support them. That's why our youth reference groups are at the heart of our work, and they play an active role in designing, developing and evaluating our programs.
