On Friday 9th January, many of our team are still on leave, and others are working from home so there will be no one at the Warragul clinic for drop ins.
Online and phone sessions will be running as scheduled, and the Yarra Junction clinic and Customer Service team remain open for phone calls, emails, or visitors seeking some cool air conditioning.
With the challenging weather conditions, we hope you all stay safe, follow your plans, and keep cool in the heat.
See you soon

Preparation, understanding what is tricky, and knowing what might help are so important for self advocacy.
Everyone is different, so let’s all keep that in mind for holiday celebrations. A facial expression you spot when someone opens a gift may not mean what you think, or the pressure to “open it and be ever so grateful immediately” might just not work for having time to process

We're nearly there.

You are doing an amazing job.

Charitable Recycling is the ideal choice for eco-friendly Christmas shopping! ♻️🎄🎁
Donating items you no longer need to Op-Shops and buying from them is a fantastic way to recycle. While you're there, you can find something special for yourself or a friend! Plus, many Op-Shops are charity-run, channelling funds and goods back to those in need. 🌳♻️🎄🎁
Remember, one person's trash can be another's treasure, and this practice significantly reduces waste going to landfills! 🌳♻️🎄🎁

Strong Minds Psychology provides psychological assessment and intervention services to the Yarra Valley and Outer East suburbs of Melbourne, as well as West Gippsland.
Our clinics can be found within the communities of Yarra Junction and Warragul, and we also are able to provide mobile visits in schools, homes, kindergartens, and aged care facilities within the surrounding suburbs.
The SMP team are here to help the community to build strong mental health, develop skills, and learn in a positive and supported environment. We do this by working individually with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as providing assistance to parents and carers, small groups, educators, and the wider community.
We are a teaching clinic, which means we are able to assist provisional psychologists to complete their training, and can also offer reduced cost services for the community. We work closely as a team, so that we can provide a positive experience and can support you: our SMP family.
The SMP team are able to provide support privately, or via funding streams such as: Medicare, NDIS, WorkCover, TAC, and Victims of Crime. We are registered NDIS providers, so we can provide therapy, assessment, and Behaviour Support Plans for participants with a variety of funding packages.
