National Psychology Week

Last week was National Psychology Week. As a part of the 'celebrations' Marion hosted an afternoon tea for Psychologists and Social Service workers in this area.

A key part of the afternoon tea was to promote one of our great services, SalvoPsych. SalvoPsych is offered as a service connected to our Community Support Services. Visitors to our service can be referred to a clinical psychologist in our area who will assess and provide support to them free of charge. (We are using the Medicare bulk billing system to pay for this service).

This is a great initiative and has come about due to the hard work across the CSS network in partnership with the Australian Psychological Association (SA). One year after the pilot started we have already seen the great impact that this is having in the lives of our clients.
