Our Story
Your Journey is a service founded by experienced local Mental Health Support Workers, Sarah Cossey and Melinda Shepherd. Our story begins with wanting to see change in our community. We recognised a massive service gap in the Mudgee region for psychosocial supports under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). We searched for over a year to find appropriate services for NDIS participants, much to our disappointment we could not find any services that would provide support to our area. We knew we had to do something, so with the encouragement from well-respected psychologists and social workers, together with our passion, skills and knowledge we decided to become the change we wanted to see. The heart of our service is to ensure we are supporting people to reach their goals, while providing a safe, nurturing space to enable growth and recovery
