Mental health is health. Full stop.

If you're feeling mentally drained, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself, you’re not alone. One in five Aussies experiences a mental health condition every year, but so many still hesitate to ask for help.

At Sunstate Family Practice, we want to change that. Our GPs offer a safe space to talk - whether it’s for a mental health care plan, a conversation, or a check-in to help you reset.

This R U OK? Day, check in with the people around you. But also… check in with yourself.

💬 You're allowed to ask for support. You're allowed to take care of your mental wellbeing.

You don’t have to wait for it to get worse to get help.
