Celebrating A Decade of Headspace Hurstville

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to recognise an important organisation in my community that is celebrating ten years of supporting young people. Headspace Hurstville provides free mental health support for young people aged 12-25 years, across Georges River community. The team at Headspace assist people who are going through a tough time across four key areas, including: physical health, mental health, alcohol, drugs, work and study support. Mental health is an incredibly significant topic to be addressed in our society, and since 2014, when Headspace Hurstville first opened its doors, the centre has undergone significant positive changes to meet the unique needs of its clients. With Mental Health Month being celebrated this October, Headspace Hurstville looks forward to promoting the theme for 2024, 'Lets talk about it'. The theme aims to prompt people to reflect on mental health and overall well-being, while encouraging a proactive approach to seeking help. I would like to thank all the staff at Headspace Hurstville for their commitment to addressing mental health concerns for young people and congratulate them on ten years of service to the community.
