As Mental Health Week draws to a close, Street Law would like to give a shout out to all of the amazing workers not just at our service, but to everyone in the sector as a whole.
We can deal with some pretty heavy content in our day-to-day, so it’s important that we take time to stop and consider our own mental health and the mental health of those we work alongside.
So reach out, take a moment, or have an open discussion, and remember to always take care of each other 💙

How does mental health impact WA's homeless?
Headspace have said that "Homelessness is a risk factor for for mental and physical ill-health, and mental illness is a risk factor for homelessness" - and we couldn't agree more. Almost half of our clients last year disclosed that they have a diagnosed mental health illness, but we suspect the number is likely much higher.
Mental illness can impact anyone at anytime. It's time to eliminate any stigma associated with mental health. We are #strongertogether 💚
