Good mental emotional health is a vital part of overall good health and wellbeing. It is just as important to maintain good mental health as it is to maintain good physical health.  The Mental Health Counsellor is responsible for providing assessment, case management, referral and follow-up for clients seeking assistance with mental emotional issues. Episodes of mental emotional unwellness can come and go in periods throughout people's lives. The Mental Health Counsellor can assist you to understand your personal and emotional issue/s and help to ease the pain and discomfort that these issues can cause. This may involve brief interventions, counselling, initiating and managing planned treatment options, consultation and referral to other agencies or crisis management.
