NSW Health: Maintaining health during and after floods and storms

Local mental health support

Floods can affect us all in different ways and can be stressful simply as they add to the list of events we have been through as individuals and as a community. Please don’t minimise your experience. Your issues are valid. It’s always a good idea to connect to someone. Even if you don’t use the service immediately you will be prepared for when you or someone you know might need it.
