Stride provides support and treatment to people aged 18 and over who are experiencing emotional distress and/or mental health conditions. We do this through a variety of community services, programs and NDIS supports and by working in partnership with healthcare providers and other community organisations.

Overview

Stride is here to help you have a good day, today and tomorrow. No matter where you’re at with managing your mental health – whether you’re reaching out for the first time or branching out in your recovery – we can help. Our evidence-based approach to care means you’ll always get the best support possible. It’s also nice to know many of our services can be accessed with no cost under programs supported by our funding partners.

Community support

Centres and hubs

If you have a mental health concern, are living with a mental health issue or have feelings of emotional distress, there is a variety of support available to you at our community-based centres. Stride works with our partners to provide Medicare Mental Health Centres, Safe Spaces, Safe Havens and Stride hubs. These are welcoming spaces in the community where people can access support for themselves or someone they care for.

Family and Carer services

Our family and carer mental health support services are designed to help carers and families across the full spectrum of mental health. We have services that support children, young people and their families as they navigate early mental health concerns. We also offer support to families and carers of someone with an enduring mental health concern.

Dean was approved for NDIS funding for his complex mental health issues. He feels much better now that he has the right support and can get out of the house. Stride changed everything for him.
