Healthy Mind

Our clients receive individualised supports - that means the services that most help them. No two programs are alike, just as no two people are alike. 

Regardless of your background or beliefs you'll always have someone on your side. A team of psychologists, counsellors, community service workers and educators will work together to make sure you get the ongoing services you need. 

This is the ultimate goal, to achieve real healing on a holistic level and to save lives.

Mental Health in Australia

Mental health is one of the most prevalent issues affecting men’s wellbeing in Australia, with suicide taking the lives of 2348 men in 2017, a 10% rise on the previous year. It is expected this figure will continue to rise as existing services are unable to cope with this demand.

As well as offering free counselling, psychologist appointments and connections with other medical specialists, BTG is working hard to raise awareness and break down the stigma around mental health.

The more people hear about mental health, the more people will access the services they need.

We aim to bring people of all ages into programs that will support them, give them skills and help them express themselves creatively.
