What does WayAhead do?

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. Wayahead provides support for Anxiety Disorders through Wayahead Anxiety Support groups, and our 12 week Self-Help Anxiety Courses. We provide free Mental Health education through Understanding Anxiety Forums, Small Steps seminars for primary school teachers and parents, and through our WayAhead websites and fact sheets. We promote awareness for better mental health through programs such as October's Mental Health Month, the Mental Health Matters Awards, Stress Less Day and Perinatal Depression and Anxiety Awareness Week, Wayahead Workplaces and the Young and Parenting Project.
