Australia · if anything feels heavy
Support options
You don't have to wait for a crisis to reach out. If things feel heavy, stick around, or get in the way of work, study, home, or relationships, talking to someone can help. That is not failure.
This check-in is not a clinic — it doesn't diagnose or treat anything. A GP is a good first step. The Australian services below are here too, including options for people 25 or under.
