“Headstart” is a program designed to help GPs in South Australia understand some of the issues affecting Young People with mental health concerns. Carers of young people who have experienced mental health issues and attended GPs are sought for assistance.
Previous carers involved in the Headstart program have collaborated in the development of educational material as well as presenting their experiences as a carer in face-to-face education sessions.
“Headstart” plans to run in 4-8 locations in South Australia over the next twelve months. Assistants would be asked to participate in an orientation session as well as a negotiable number (3-8) of three hour sessions over this time.
Carers will receive compensation for their time and support with travel and meals.
If you can help with the above OR can recommend someone you think may be interested in assisting, please contact Headstart.
