Mental Health

Through our Mental Health programs and services throughout Bundaberg, Central Queensland, Wide Bay Burnett and the Discovery coast, we help individuals and families build resilience and reconnect with their community for an improved quality of life. Everybody's journey is different and we do not judge. At IMPACT Community Services, we offer an excitingly diverse framework of wrap-around support services, not a quick fix.

We'd love to hear your story."

Our staff at IMPACT Community Services understand and genuinely care about the mental health of our clients. We take a multi-faceted approach to supporting people with mental health conditions, and we can talk to carers if required. Everyone experiences mental health differently, so our support focuses on each person's individual experience, their strengths and what is needed for a better recovery.
