Community Voices: Stories of Strength & Recovery
Real Stories, Real Impact
Hearing from others who have attended our sessions can make a big difference. Here’s what people in flood-affected communities have shared about their experiences with Skylight’s Flood Recovery Mental Health Support Program.
“The support I received helped me navigate my mental health after the flood. It gave me tools I didn’t know I needed.”
“I was feeling isolated, but after attending the group, I’ve built connections and found work opportunities.”
“Being able to talk openly about my struggles in a safe space made all the difference.”
Collaboration for Community Recovery
A Statewide Initiative Supporting Flood-Affected Communities
The South Australian Flood Recovery Mental Health Support Program is delivered by multiple organisations, ensuring that flood-affected communities across different regions have access to mental health and well-being support.
Skylight Mental Health is delivering this program in the Mid Murray, Murray Bridge, Coorong, and Riverland regions, supporting communities in locations such as Murray Bridge, Mannum, Swan Reach, Berri, Barmera, Loxton, Blanchetown, Walker Flat, Waikerie, and Tailem Bend.
This program is funded by the South Australian Department for Health and Wellbeing, making it possible to provide free mental health support to individuals, families, and communities impacted by flooding.
