At headspace Adelaide, we understand that navigating mental health can look different for everyone. Many cultures have unique ways of understanding and explaining wellbeing. For example, some cultures view mental health through a medical lens, others through spiritual or religious beliefs, and for some, it’s deeply tied to a sense of community and belonging. No matter how you understand mental health, there is no right or wrong way. What’s important to remember is that if you're facing a challenging time or feeling stuck, you’re not alone – this is something many young people experience.

Recognising that language can be a barrier to accessing support, our general mental health program within headspace Adelaide is proud to offer bilingual services to our culturally and linguistically diverse and deaf communities. We have workers available in Mandarin, Tamal, Romanian, Russian, and Auslan to ensure that young people, along with their friends and families, can access our general mental health services with greater ease and understanding.

Whether you're seeking help for yourself or someone you care about, our workers can assist in making sure that your cultural background and language are respected throughout the process.

We also provide translated mental health resources to support individuals in learning about wellbeing in their preferred language. Additionally, within all of our programs located at headspace Adelaide (including Early Psychosis), we offer the option of an interpreter at appointments in partnership with an external service provider. 

At headspace Adelaide, we are here to support you, no matter your cultural or linguistic background. You don't have to go through tough times alone — reach out today.
