Head to Health

If you need to find a resource in the area of mental health, visit the Head to Health website.  Head to Health is a digital mental health resource set up by the Australian Health Department and is a comprehensive coverage of apps, online programs, online forums, digital information resources and phone services.  The resource list is comprehensive and has free or low-cost services and has something relevant for all ages.  An example of how to use this resource is in the parent section “Chat Starter” on how to start a chat about mental health issues.  My favourite suggestion is as follows:

Dance & Download

Dancing is a great way to express yourself. You, your family, Elders, friends or anyone in your household might like to pick some songs and dance. If you're in different households, a video call to dance and move is a great alternative to face to face when restrictions are tight.

I can already hear my kids rolling their eyes and groaning!
