USEFUL RESOURCES
You've probably heard the expression "put your best foot forward" and that's what we aim to do here on this page. Rather than overwhelm you with hundreds of different resources Focused Mental Education has selectively hand picked what we think to be the best suite of resources to aid you whether you're new to the realm of mental health or just wanting to keep up to date with the latest information. We hope to have something for everyone!
South Western Sydney Primary Health Network (SWSPHN)
We mentioned that Damien (Owner of Focused Mental Education) is positioned with a leading PHN. Being positioned at SWSPHN it would be hard not to include this one on our list. South Western Sydney PHN co-designs and funds a range of primary mental health and suicide prevention services in line with a stepped care approach, promoting person-centered care, and addressing the needs of priority populations and individuals who experience barriers to accessing services through Medicare. Among these items there is an etire swindle of other resources pertaining to physical health too, not just mental health so there is something for everyone.
