The Mental Health Foundation (ACT) is a leading service provider and information resource for mental health in the Australian Capital Territory. We are a professional not-for-profit, community based member organisation.
We deliver innovative programs, that are designed to positively enrich and to improve the lives of people living with a mental illness, including their family, friends and colleagues, who often take on a caring role – sometimes without realising it.
We assist people living with all mental illnesses. For example: depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorders. We are also often able to assist people who have not been diagnosed with a mental illness, or have the wrong diagnoses.
