Mental health support
Our dedicated team of mental health professionals provide a range of services through the North Queensland Primary Healthcare Network (NQPHN) funded MyndKind program.
Myndkind was designed with and for the community and provides integrated services to vulnerable and financially disadvantaged people across North Queensland, including Etheridge Shire and Croydon communities.
If you are experiencing mental health and emotional difficulties, our team at NWRH may be able to help. We offer a confidential, safe and compassionate environment for clients of all ages and walks of life who are experiencing mental health concerns such as anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, chronic illness, and others.
Front Door Services
From our NWRH Georgetown office, we are also pleased to offer the community Front Door services, designed to help people access the right mental health and wellbeing support, at the right time.
We understand that navigating services can feel overwhelming. These services provide a welcoming, compassionate starting point, helping individuals and families connect with supports that meet their needs whether through MyndKind or other local services.
MyndKind is a stepped care model, meaning support is matched to what a person needs right now, and can change over time.

Mental health is important because it affects how we think, feel and behave. It also impacts our ability to cope with stress, relate to others and make choices. Even though we talk about emotional and psychological worries as “mental health”, these worries and problems are also linked with the brain and the body. Mental health is part of our bodies overall health and wellbeing and is part of a holistic approach to health care.
