International Day of Happiness
March 20 marks the International Day of Happiness. But really, what is happiness?
Asking about mental health

In rural and remote areas, accessing mental health support can be challenging. In areas like Isaac, many people work long shifts that prevent them from accessing nine-to-five health services.
On top of that, there are often long waiting times for appointments for local providers, or you might need to travel long distances to other towns to access support. If you need help for your mental health, waiting for months could lead to your problems getting worse.

Navicare is Isaac’s new mental health hub and care navigation service. Located at the Moranbah Youth & Community Centre, this free service helps residents connect with the most appropriate mental health support for their needs.
