WayAhead – Mental Health Association NSW (WayAhead) plays a vital role in the development of mental health initiatives which increase community awareness and knowledge of mental health issues.
With the support of our Board, staff, members, and volunteers and students, we strive towards a community that embraces and maintains mental, social and emotional wellbeing for all people and we work towards a society free from prejudice and discrimination against people living with mental illness.
We do a range of work that is primarily focused on
- The provision of mental health information – the WayAhead Directory, Mental Health Factsheets and education seminars
- Free Anxiety support groups and Self-help Anxiety Courses throughout NSW
- The co-ordination of mental health promotion activities such as Mental Health Month NSW, WayAhead Workplaces and Perinatal Depression and Anxiety Awareness Week
