I Need help with

My mental health

Everybody can feel down, stressed or anxious at times, but it is important to be able to recognise when a mood or behavioral change has become more than a temporary thing.

Talking to a close friend, family member, or a health professional, is a good place to start when seeking support.

Visit Beyond Blue for more information on understanding mental health, who can help, and how to stay well.

Who can help me in the NT?

If you are unsure about who to talk to or who can help, a good place to start is your local GP. If you live in a small town or community, your local health clinic or community service are the best places to go, as they can refer you to specialist support.

  • General Practitioner (GP) or doctor

    If you are worried about your mental health, a good place to start is to speak with a General Practitioner (GP), also known as a doctor.  


    A GP can help determine if you have a mental health condition and depending on your needs, may refer you to a counsellor, psychologist, psychiatrist or other mental health professional.

  • Community based mental health services

    Community based mental health services support individuals and carers with emerging or present mental health issues. They can also help with issues of addiction, relationships, grief, domestic violence; and housing or financial hardship.

  • Remote health service

    If you live in a community without access to a GP clinic, you'll most likely have a health service in or near your community. This local service can support your health needs and may have Aboriginal health workers and nurses who can help you find the right support.
