Enjoy a happier, healthier life!
SalvoPsych psychologists equip you with the skills needed to function better, prevent problems and manage many common mental health disorders. That's because psychologists are experts in human behaviour and understand how people think, feel, behave and react. Psychological therapies are widely used to treat individuals and families and can also be applied to groups and organisations.
How does SalvoPsych work?
If you would like to be referred to a SalvoPsych psychologist, just contact your Salvation Army liaison person who will help and support you through the process! They will arrange for you to visit a GP who will make a physical and mental health assessment and decide whether a referral to a psychologist may be beneficial for you. The GP will decide if you would be best suited to a one-to-one consultation or group therapy.
SalvoPsych psychological services are free or bulk-billed!
Under the SalvoPsych agreement between the Salvation Army and the Australian Psychological Society (SA Branch), clients and their families are entitled to the best professional psychological services either free or bulk-billed under Medicare.
SalvoPsych - a great joint initiative, designed to help you!

Stuart Diver 'No matter what happens to you and no matter how bad it can all get, there is hope. I'm living proof that hope can survive even when it seems there is none.' Lone survivor of the 1997 Thredbo disaster and Australian hero Stuart Diver captured the nation's attention after a landslide which killed 18 people, including his wife. Stuart was trapped for 65 hours and it took 10 hours of painstaking tunnelling to get him free. He received extensive psychological counselling for his trauma and formed a strong bond with the Salvos after they assisted him in the aftermath of the tragedy. Stuart says it's vital that people who need help reach out. He hasn't hesitated in getting involved with SalvoPsych, an innovative psychological program designed to help disadvantaged people in South Australia cope with their current challenges. 'SalvoPsych is a wonderful initiative. I know the importance of professional psychological care and how it can get you through difficult times in your life. Access to professional mental health care in our community especially for those who may have difficulty accessing these services cannot be under estimated. This program brings together those who really need help and those who can provide this help.' |
