Did you know that several local pharmacists, together with some parents and friends, will be swimming this March to raise awareness of the prevalence of youth mental health issues, and the resources and organisations that are available to support our community's young people. All funds raised will go to ReachOut Australia
ReachOut provides a safe, online place for young people to chat anonymously, get support, and feel better. And, ReachOut's resources for parents and schools provide valuable information and advice to help them better support the young people in their lives.

Worried that your child is depressed?

Growing up is full of changes - like starting school, going through puberty, and preparing for exams. For some children, changes like this can cause stress and depression.

If you think your child might be depressed, talk to them about how they’re feeling. And don’t be afraid to seek professional help. 💚
