The purpose of Togetherall is to help foster positive mental health and offer a safe, stigma free environment where people can work through what they are experiencing, using the peer support offered by the community. The community is moderated by mental health professionals.
Most of the time, therefore, members will not be in crisis, but we understand that sometimes unexpected events do happen.We are not able to manage emergencies face-to-face or provide ongoing crisis support, but if you, or someone you know, needs urgent help related to their mental health, please use the resources below.
How do I get help?
To find your local CATT (Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team) or PET (Psychiatric Emergency Teams), ring your closest major public hospital.
If you need help now, call your state’s mental health crisis line for immediate expert support. They will help you work out which services can best help. This could be the doctor, a hospital emergency department or a community mental health service. Sometimes, the CATT will be sent to you, wherever you are.
