Reach Out and Relax (ROAR)

ROAR aims to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of children and young people. ROAR provides early intervention support to people up to the age of 18, and their families, who may be showing early signs of or are at risk of developing a mental health issue. We offer a range of support such as:

• short-term assistance for families, children & young people,
• long-term, early intervention case management support, and
• community outreach, mental health education & community development activities
• group work

We work with people in their home, the community, or any place they feel safe. It is a free and confidential service. A formal diagnosis of mental illness is not required. We accept referrals from anyone, including self-referrals. We conduct a brief screening to ensure that ROAR is the appropriate service for them.

We operate from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. We work with people in the local government areas of Balranald, Wentworth, Berrigan, Hay, Conargo, Deniliquin, Wakool, Corowa, Murray, Jerilderie, Urana, Murrumbidgee, Narrandera, Wagga Wagga, Lockhart, Leeton, Temora, Griffith, Carrathool, Coolamon, Cootamundra, Gundagai and Junee.
