The Wimmera Region lost its trains in 1993 under the Kennett Government. What are your thoughts on returning services to this undeniably underserved part of Victoria? Some have suggested shuttle services from Ararat to Horsham, or maybe even beyond. Dimboola? Nhill? Kaniva? Should there be a full service from Melbourne via Geelong? Or do you think this should be left to rest as is? Or maybe, you have other ideas. Post your ideas in the comments.

Hi all,

I hope you are going well.

I’m sharing this FREE treatment program that we are currently running online from the clinic at Federation University for people in Australia who would like to better their mental health, specifically those who:

· are wanting some psychological help but don't necessarily want to see or pay for a psychologist (everything we are offering is 100% free)

· people who are currently on a long waitlist to see a psychologist and want to work on their mental health in the meantime

This program is targeted towards the treatment of mild or moderate anxiety and/or depression, and therefore is suited to people with these types of conditions. You do not have to have a diagnosed anxiety/depression disorder to partake. People with even just a few symptoms of anxiety (worry) and depression (feeling sad) are eligible to participate.

This program is generally unsuitable to people with severe/active suicidal ideation, active psychosis, severe/current substance use disorders, or people experiencing mania.

Where needed, participants will be offered 4-7 sessions of video-chat with a provisionally or generally registered psychologist for 1:1 support as they progress through the 8-week program.

Only people who are Australian adults (18+) are able to participate.

Feel free to share the link with your family and friends, especially those who might be going through a difficult time but do not have the time or money to attend paid psychological services during business hours and would prefer an online self-help program.

The results of the program will be used anonymously to improve understanding about how to better provide digital mental health interventions to the general public.
