New Access
NewAccess is a beyondblue program that provides a free and confidential support service to help tackle day-to-day pressures that may result in anxiety and/or depression.
The program is the result of research that reveals that on average, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 8 men will experience some level of depression and 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will experience anxiety during their lifetime.
Access coaches are specifically trained at Flinders University to offer guidance through a tailored plan. They are also well connected in the community and can point in the right direction of other supporting groups such as employment, financial, education, housing and more.
