求助之路，不该一个人走。
The path to care
shouldn't be walked alone.
ACMHP organises Australia's bilingual mental-health workforce into a pathway to care for Chinese and multicultural communities.
02How the path works
From understanding to a clearer next step.
ACMHP does not replace a clinical service. We help make the people, language and choices around support easier to understand.
- 01
Understand
Plain-language information makes the Australian mental-health system easier to read.
- 02
Navigate
Learn what different practitioners do and which questions can help you choose.
- 03
Connect
Search an opt-in directory by language, discipline, location and service mode.
- 04
Continue
Use the information to take your next step. ACMHP does not provide clinical or crisis care.
