What should I do if I need crisis support or urgent mental health services? 

If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis or need urgent support, it’s important to seek immediate help. While Ever Mind Psychology focuses on providing personalised guidance for ongoing mental health needs, we’re not equipped to handle crises directly. 

These resources are specially designed to provide immediate and effective assistance. For non-urgent matters, we’re here to offer support and clarity as you navigate your mental health journey.

For urgent assistance, you can make contact with: 

  • Dial 000 for immediate help in a serious emergency.

  • Call Lifeline on 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis support and counselling.

  • Call Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 for support and information on mental health issues.   

  • Call 1800 011 511 a statewide phone number that links people of all ages with NSW health mental health services.
