Frankston mental health and wellbeing local
Paul EDBROOKE (Frankston) (10:08): On another matter, the Minister for Mental Health Gabrielle Williams MP recently visited the Frankston mental health and wellbeing local to announce the beginning of walk-in services in the coming weeks and a weekend service to kick off in the coming months as well. The Frankston local is delivered by Wellways Australia in partnership with Mentis Assist and Pen Health and since opening late last year has provided support to hundreds of people in the community, with wellbeing and therapeutic group sessions, face-to-face appointments, telehealth and outreach. We are delivering the biggest mental health reform in the nation’s history, and the local services play a vital role in ensuring we deliver the most accessible care for all Victorians close to home. A big shout-out goes to all the Pen Health workers and all the mental health workers who were there that day and showed their hospitality and their workplace.
