digital and online resources
There are many benefits to using online resources. Not only is it free and can be
accessed from the safety and comfort of a person’s home or personal space,
but it also provides access anywhere, anytime.
Many services offer access to counselling or someone to talk to, but importantly also educates and
provides reliable information. Understanding what is happening for us and what we
can do about it, can reduce fear, isolation and stigma preventing help-seeking.
These resources provide links to crisis support, interactive treatment programs,counselling support and useful APPS.
