PLANS to establish a central mental health services hub in the Limestone Coast have progressed with Lifeline South East currently undertaking a community study on service demand.
The study – which includes an anonymous online survey – will help determine the need for a face-to-face facility to support people experiencing mental health challenges.
Responses in the hundreds have already started flooding in funding from the major Full Monty fundraiser helping to finance the research.
Lifeline suicide awareness project officer Sam Benton said the hub was at research stage and the not-for-profit organisation was gauging public demand.
The survey involves a series of multiple choice questions which Ms Benton said aimed to collate the community’s general knowledge of the region’s mental health services.
