headspace Katoomba is linked with headspace Penrith to provide accessible youth mental health services for the local community.

Many traditional services aren’t equipped to address the unique barriers that young people face in accessing mental health support. headspace began in 2006 to address this critical gap, by providing tailored and holistic mental health support to 12 – 25-year-olds.

With a focus on early intervention, headspace work with young people to provide support at a crucial time in their lives – to help get them back on track and strengthen their ability to manage their mental health in the future.

At the heart of headspace’s services is ensuring they meet the evolving and unique needs of young people and those who support them. Therefore, young people are at the centre of everything they do and they play an active role in designing, developing and evaluating our programs.
