Ten South Burnett residents with low to mid-range mental health issues will now have the opportunity to have regular chats with pre-graduate psychology students in a unique partnership.<\/p>\n

Essential Health Services’ manager Geoff French – who operates businesses in Nanango and Kingaroy – said the free service was being offered by videolink in collaboration with the University of Southern Queensland.<\/p>\n

Mr French said the students would be working under the guidance of a clinical psychologist.<\/p>\n

He expected people with concerns about COVID-19, the drought, bushfires, grief, eating disorders, depression and anxiety could make use of the service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We now can offer 10 people immediate assistance without having to wait,” Mr French said.<\/p>\n

“No GP appointments needed and no waiting for a spot to open with specialists. All you need to do is call.”<\/p>\n

Mr French said there was a great need for mental health assistance in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

“We expect we can take more cases than the 10 new clients soon,” Mr French said.<\/p>\n

“But we want to start off slow ensuring we are offering quality care and best practice procedures.”<\/p>\n

Mr French said this was a rare opportunity which he had been fighting to offer in the area for quite a while.<\/p>\n
