headspace Bairnsdale invited local emergency service staff to our centre for a morning tea to mark Mental Health Week 2019. Staff from the Country Fire Authority, Bairnsdale Police and Bairnsdale Community Mental Health Services came along and enjoyed the chance to discuss the mental health needs of young people in our community, and how we can best meet these needs in a collaborative way. It was also a chance to pat Therapy Dog ‘Nellie’ who came along with Annie from local business “Follow Our Lead.”
