You're about to do something amazing!
Our services provide vital support for adults 25+ experiencing anxiety and depression in WA.
Previously known as GenWHY?, Bluebird provides peer support groups facilitated by registered psychologists for over 25's. There is currently an unmet demand for this type of service with one-in-five Australians experiencing a mental illness symptom at least once in a year. With your help we can ensure adults dealing with anxiety and depression get the support they need.
Our unique program of support builds the confidence and skills of our members to self-manage their own mental health and live happy healthy lives. Since 2009, Bluebird has received an enquiry every other day from adults looking for mental health support services. We offer this service for free to all members, relying solely on donations and grant based funding.
Group members have routinely commented on the benefit of attending group sessions and in assisting in their personal recovery.
Bluebird is really awesome and has been wholeheartedly responsible for my transformation in not only improving my mental health but maintaining a positive and balanced outlook and approach to life.
When asked if they would recommend Bluebird a member responded:
"Yes most definitely, because it is an effective form of support. It does not foster lifelong dependence on help or medication. It teaches you to manage yourself, connects you with other like-minded people, aids in keeping a fresh perspective on the nature and role of having depression or anxiety in your life…"
Bluebird is supported and managed by a team of passionate and dedicated volunteers, the donations we receive go directly to delivering our frontline services. We offer support groups, peer networks, wellbeing workshops and social events to promote a whole of life approach to managing mental health and wellbeing.
