For many years, thanks to the generosity of the people of WA, Telethon7 Perth funding has helped us provide counselling and mental health services to young people across WA. For young people in the Peel and South West region, this funding allows us to expand our services to meet young people where they need support.

Our team across the South West took Telethon7’s Fat Cat on an adventure ahead of the Telethon Family Festival, giving him a glimpse into the impact that Telethon7 funding has on the lives of young people in regional WA.

Telethon Family Festival is this weekend and we can’t wait to see everyone there!

Our team attended the 2025 WA Mental Health Awards, a celebration of all the inspiring individuals and organisations who are making a difference towards mental health in WA.

We are proud sponsors of the Innovation in Service Delivery Award - which was joint awarded to Deadly Minds Matter (Shooting Stars) and Raphael Services (St John of God Health Care). This year's five finalists showcase the powerful impact that innovation and community-led initiatives can have in the mental health space.

Thank you to Western Australian Association for Mental Health for hosting the event, a great celebration to end WA Mental Health Week. We loved having the opportunity to celebrate those who are doing incredible work in our community.

Today is World Mental Health Day, which aims to raise awareness and address stigma related to mental health.

Here’s a quick reminder to check in with a friend.

If they are going through a difficult time, you don’t need to have all the answers. Just listen, be there, and remind them that people care and want to help.

We are so excited to announce that we have received a Lotterywest grant of $3.545 million to transform 28 Troode Street, West Perth into Perth’s first Youth Mental Health Hub!

This fit out will mean that young people in WA will have a safe and accessible space to access a range of services, including counselling, work and study support, integrated physical and mental health care, and social services around issues such as alcohol and other drugs, homelessness, and family and domestic violence – all under one roof and at no cost to young people or their families.

We are so very grateful for the support of Lotterywest in helping make our vision for a Youth Mental Health Hub come to life, and to Health and Mental Health Minister Meredith Hammat MLA for visiting us to present our funding certificate.

We can’t wait to share this journey with our community over the coming months!
