Welcome, let’s
thrive in ‘25!
Hello friends of headspace Bendigo.

Team Manager
YOUR MENTAL
HEALTH
Take care of yourself while
waiting for your appointment:
Eat well. Sleep well. Stay
active. Reduce alcohol and
other drug use.
Sign up for an
eheadspace account
(eheadspace.org.au)
where you can talk to a
youth mental health
professional 7 days a
week from 9am to 1am.
I’m excited to write my inaugural newsletter piece, to
introduce myself and share a few highlights from our team
as we find ourselves already deep into another year of
providing service to our community.
I’m a Clinical Mental Health Social Worker who has
worked for headspace for over 12 years; in the main at the
Bendigo centre, but with a three-year sojourn to Swan Hill
before coming back just over five years ago to lead the
Bendigo team.
I won’t lie and say it’s been an easy five plus years (a little
pandemic in there), but I honestly couldn’t be prouder of the
team that I lead or the service that they continue to provide
to our community each and every day.
As for 2025 - it’s started with a bang and looks like it may
be a record year for us in appointments delivered by
amazing staff – the community engagement calendar looks
busy as well! Some highlights already include seeing our
team in action at community engagement events, the IPS
Work and Study Collaborative in Melbourne and watching
the growth of our Youth Ambassador and Family & Friend
reference groups – both groups I am looking forward to
working with in the year(s) to come.
Enjoy this update from our team, and enjoy this beautiful
autumn season (hopefully it rains soon).
Talk to trusted adults,
family and friends.
