I am thrilled to share news of the ground-breaking Virtual Psychologist Pilot for Postnatal Wellness, made possible thanks to the support and funding from the Hunter, New England, and Central Coast Primary Health Network (HNECC PHN Board). This pilot is truly a game-changer for mothers in Narrabri, Gunnedah, and Moree who are navigating the complexities of Post Natal Wellness or Post Natal Depression (PND). Over 25 weeks, participants in this pilot receive personalised mixed-based therapy sessions. These sessions are designed to address crucial areas such as attachment, breastfeeding, sleep patterns, role/relationship identity, and self-care. What makes this program so innovative is its accessibility - participants can engage via text, video, or audio, ensuring flexibility and convenience to fit their unique needs and schedules. Furthermore, the program seamlessly integrates external referrals for specialised care, ensuring that participants receive comprehensive support tailored to their individual journeys. This holistic approach is a testament to the dedication and vision of everyone involved in making this pilot a reality. I am incredibly proud to be part of an initiative that is revolutionising mental health support, making it more accessible, personalised, and effective for those who need it most. Let's continue to champion initiatives like the Virtual Psychologist Pilot that are making a positive impact in our communities. Together, we can break down barriers and empower individuals to thrive!

Our WHY is simple yet profound: to make mental health support universally accessible and offer Hope to everyone. Virtual Psychologist's journey began with a vision to merge technology and empathy, creating a text messaging service that serves as a lifeline for anyone in need. Imagine having a compassionate ally just a text away, ready to listen without judgment, offering support whenever you need it most. That's the heart of our service - providing a safe space for people to share their struggles and find solace in the digital era, after all, not everyone feels comfortable on the phone or in face to face services. Join us in redefining mental health care. Together, let's create a world where every text sent brings comfort, every conversation brings hope.
