Emotional Health and Wellbeing Australia
Empowering positive change through technology.
Emotional Health and Wellbeing Australia is a social enterprise that is helping to equip Australian institutions with digital tools that enable them to provide mental health support to their constituents.
In any given year, mental health issues affect one-in-five Australians to the extent that their wellbeing is negatively affected. In many cases, the effects extend to family, friends, loved ones and to the workplace.
Dealing with mental health issues can be extremely difficult, a journey made more difficult by the lack of available resources that can provide guidance on where to get help.
The mission of EHWA is provide digital tools that provide immediate help and guidance for people seeking help with their mental health and wellbeing.
