Talking To Your GP: A Great Place to Start

The ‘Let’s Talk’ podcast series covers mental health issues in rural and regional Australia. 

Episode 1 discusses why General Practitioners (GPs) can be the most important person for those struggling with mental health. 

While the stigma around mental health is improving, wanting to be self-reliant in times of distress can stop us all reaching out for help. Talking to a General Practitioner (GP) is a good place to start when looking for help and advice about mental health. They’re trained to assist with both mental and physical health problems and can advise where to find help and support. This fact sheet may help with planning a first appointment.
