Access Support Program
Are you waiting to be connected to your one-on-one worker in our GPH mental health program?
We can offer you some ideas to keep you well.
GPH Access Support Group Program
Join our Access Support Groups each week. These are run by peer or generalist mental health staff in areas across the region that have delays in connecting you to your one-on-one worker. Come along and meet others and learn strategies to support your wellbeing.
Download the Beyond Now App
The app was written by Beyond Blue. It is often used for those with suicidal thoughts as their safety plan but can be used by us all. It has six simple steps:
- My warning signs
- Make my space safe
- My reasons to live
- Things I can do by myself
- People and places I can connect with
- People I can talk or yarn to.
In addition to writing down your resources, it allows you to upload photos of the people or places in your life that keep you strong.
Do you have a smart phone? Download the app via
- Beyond Now suicide safety plan on the App Store (apple.com)
- Beyond Now suicide safety plan – Apps on Google Play
- Or go to the website: Beyond Now Safety Planning (lifeline.org.au)
Beyond Now is designed to be used as part of your overall mental wellbeing and safety strategy. It is not intended to be your only form of support. Ideally, you should work with a health professional or support person to create your plan at a time when you’re feeling calm and relaxed.
