Deniliquin Mental Health Awareness Group

Mental Health Disorder or Mental Illness is the third most prevalent Medical Condition in Australia, after Heart Disease and Cancer. Mental Health Disorder will affect one in five adults in any one year. This means that someone close to you, is probably affected by Mental Health Disorder, directly or indirectly, in your family, friends or workplace. Please make an effort to at least understand this and not be judgmental.

A large percentage of these people do not get help because of:

Lack of awareness of the illness and symptoms involved - they do not accept that they have a mental disorder. This is the paradox, trying to help someone who does not accept that they need help.
Difficulty in finding appropriate help not knowing where to go for help
Stigma. Having to admit to a Mental Health Disorder can be very hard given the associated stigma, real or perceived.

To some consumers, the stigma is worse than the illness.

Deniliquin Mental Health Awareness Group and our website aim to help address these problems by signposting the way to:

Accurate information about mental health and reliable links to other reputable web-sites for in-depth information about mental health disorders
Information about help available in Deniliquin and surrounding areas when dealing with mental health issues
Information to encourage self-help and general well-being

The Deniliquin Mental Health Awareness Group website is the culmination of three years of consultation, observation and research. Please navigate through our website to gain a better understanding of mental health issues, but remember we are a reference point only, not a counselling service.

Welcome and good luck.

If you are concerned about a mate with altered or abnormal behaviour, please help them to seek help.
