Regional Therapy is a pioneering healthcare service committed to addressing the critical gap in mental health support for medical practitioners and patients in regional areas of Victoria, Australia. Recognizing the limitations of the current medical system in providing comprehensive mental health care, Regional Therapy offers a specialized team of highly trained and compassionate professional counselors and psychotherapists.
Our psychotherapists are dedicated to delivering grounded and relational therapeutic support to both medical practitioners and their patients, thereby improving overall well-being and resilience within regional communities.
Many regional areas have a shortage of mental health professionals, making it difficult for both medical practitioners and the general population to access adequate support.
Patients and medical professionals in regional areas often experience isolation and a lack of community resources, which can exacerbate mental health issues.
Stigma surrounding mental health can be more pronounced in smaller communities, discouraging individuals from seeking help.
Medical practitioners in regional areas may experience high workloads and increased stress, leading to burnout and compromised mental health.
Geographical distances and limited transportation options can hinder access to mental health services, making it crucial to bring such services closer to these communities.
Regional Therapy aims to bridge the gap in mental health care by offering a range of comprehensive services tailored to the unique needs of medical practitioners and patients in regional Victoria:
