13 and thriving: headspace Bendigo's birthday milestone
From little things, big things have grown.
This year headspace Bendigo is celebrating 13 years of helping local youth be in a healthy head space.
Since it first started operating in the region, community need has driven the youth mental health organisation’s growth from a humble front at the Bendigo Library to its newly expanded office in Pall Mall.
In that time, the team has delivered over 50,000 appointments to more than 6525 individual young people, their family and friends. They have also engaged over 70,000 participants in community engagement activities. The staff has grown from two to 28, and at one stage even included much-loved therapy dog, Hulli, who is still missed.
