 <\/p>\n

As you are probably aware, a 6-day lockdown was recently initiated to curb the recent Coronavirus cluster outbreak. That lockdown ended early.<\/p>\n

In responding to the lockdown, I pulled together some mental health support services for those who might have been struggling.<\/p>\n

The lockdown might be finished, but these resources might still be relevant, so I have left them here.<\/p>\n

If you are seeking mental health support during this time, here are the options available to you.<\/p>\n

Contact the Flinders University Counselling team via counselling@flinders.edu.au<\/a>. Our intake team will respond and organise an appointment (telehealth) during normal business hours.<\/p>\n

If it is Out-of-hours or the weekend, you can call the Out-of-Hours Crisis Line. Call 1300 512 409<\/strong> or text 0488 884 103<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SA Health have set up a COVID-19 Mental Health Support hub<\/a> which provides links to a range of telephone and online services.<\/p>\n

Beyond Blue have 24\/7 Mental Health supports (<\/a>phone, chat, forums, crisis) available.<\/p>\n

Lifeline <\/a>are always available via phone.<\/p>\n

Head to Health have a dedicated COVID-19 page<\/a> outlining different mental health supports, including online supports.<\/p>\n

eMHprac have a detailed list of online mental health programs<\/a> that you can access.<\/p>\n

Also check out the Help and Advice on COVID-19 for South Australians<\/a> page which covers information lines, disability supports, family supports, health supports, financial and housing supports and more.<\/p>\n
