It was fantastic to have headspace CEO Jason Trethowan visit our headspace Edinburgh North centre last week to meet the incredible team who make this service such a vital part of the local community.

At Sonder, we’re proud to lead headspace Edinburgh North, headspace Adelaide, headspace Marion, and headspace Onkaparinga - services that play a critical role in improving access to mental health support for young people in our community.

Thank you to the Edinburgh North team for the exceptional work you do every day, and to Jason for taking the time to visit the service and community. 💚

headspace services are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health. Administration of funding is carried out by the headspace centre’s local Primary Health Network, in this case, Adelaide PHN.

We had a very special visitor yesterday here at headspace Edinburgh North... none other than .trethowan, CEO of headspace! 🥳

It was great to show Jason around our centre, share some updates about some of the work we are doing out in our local community, and have a yarn about what the year ahead looks like for the wider headspace community.

Thank you for stopping by Jason, we look forward to welcoming you back soon 💚

Penelope, 73, lives in Moonta Mines and loves her close-knit community. But accessing local healthcare services hasn’t always been easy.

After being referred to Sonder’s Integrated Primary Care (IPC) program, Penelope found something different: local, fully funded support that took the time to listen, understand her story, and meet her where she was at.

With compassionate dietetics support delivered close to home, Penelope began rebuilding her relationship with food, moving her body in ways she enjoyed, and feeling more confident in her health without pressure or judgement.

Our Closing the Gap – Integrated Team Care and Integrated Primary Care teams recently attended Essentials Day at the Balaklava Town Hall, alongside more than 30 other local services and organisations.

It was a great day of chatting with community members and other providers about how to access health services, where to refer people, and what supports are available locally.

Events like this are a good reminder of the importance of being visible, connected, and actively engaged within the communities we serve.

Thank you to Wakefield Regional Council for hosting the day!
