FOCUS AREA: MENTAL HEALTH _
We are committed to fostering and maintaining good mental health in Latrobe.
This includes, but is not limited to, projects helping people to receive better care, support and community understanding for their mental health issues.
Mental health is all about how we feel and think. Just like our bodies need care to stay healthy, our minds do too. It’s about feeling good about ourselves, dealing with the ups and downs of life, and being able to handle stress and challenges.
At the Latrobe Health Assembly, our projects are seeking to help the Latrobe Valley be a more supported and happier community.
