If you are working with or supporting a young person that you believe would benefit from headspace Shepparton support, you can make a referral using our referral form which you can download here.

If your referral isn't the right fit for headspace Shepparton, we will review and help connect you with the most appropriate support.

headspace Shepparton would love to be present at your community event, festival, school or wherever you see fit!
 
We can have an active presence, running an interactive activity or workshop to engage with young people, their family and friends, and community. This could be in line with a recognition or celebration day/week, or supporting an existing wellbeing activity in the school environment.

We can also hold a more informative space, where we can provide merchandise, psychoeducation, and community members can ask questions and have a chat with our staff and volunteers. 

Please complete the form via this link with your request information! You can also click here: https://forms.office.com/r/qMM58VjLQM

Welcome to the headspace Shepparton's online service.  This is for those who have completed a referral, and arranged an appointment through headspace Shepparton for our online service.

Think of this as a waiting area - get yourself a drink (if you'd like), find yourself in a private space, and settle in. There's just two steps to go.

 1. We ask that everyone that connects with headspace complete a survey before each session.

Follow the below link to fill out your survey (if you have already done it via a text, then great!) ideally within half an hour of your appointment.
