If low mood or worry has stuck around and started affecting your sleep, work or relationships, talking to someone helps. Across the ACT, you can see a registered psychologist by video, from Canberra and the surrounding region. That often means a shorter wait than an in-person clinic.
If you need support now in the ACT: call Access Mental Health on 1800 629 354, or Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636. In an emergency, call 000.
