Seeking Support
The Little BIG House is not a clinical support service and there are times in all of our lives where you may feel the need for some additional support from a qualified professional or a lived-experience peer network. We have taken a moment to aggregate a few of the support services available here, however this is not an exhaustive list an dyou should carry out your own research on what suits you best.
In an emergency, call 000 and if seeking mental health assistance, call the Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511.
