How we can help you

What we can help with

IPC Health's Mental Health Service is a confidential service and comprises of three mental health services:

  • Community health counselling
  • Head to Health
  • CAREInMIND

IPC Health's Mental Health Service takes a holistic approach to mental health, whether you have a mental ill-health history, or it is the first time you have reached out for support.

Our mental health clinician will apply a personalised approach to understand what’s going on for you. They will draw upon the broad range of services available and will identify which ones best suit you.

In the first instance we will talk to you about your personal concerns and identify the support you need. We then work with you to develop a package of support services suited to your individual situation. That support may be provided from within IPC Health's Mental Health Service, or we may refer you to other health providers who are better suited to support you.

IPC Health's Mental Health Service will provide:

  • Personalised intake service with a caring, holistic approach
  • Counselling with a mental health professional

You may also benefit from:

  • Mental health group programs to support community needs
  • Social connection and support through our Wellbeing Coordinators

Types of support

IPC Health's Mental Health Service is a face-to-face service, however we also provide the option of counselling over the phone or via video call.
