Going through a a difficult time with your mental health, drug or alcohol use can feel lonely at times. It can help to hear from others who have been through similar challenges.
If you have a lived experience of mental health, drug or alcohol use challenges, we invite you to share your words of hope, strength and encouragement to others to help them in their path to recovery.
As well as anyone being able to visit this page and read inspiring messages, we will also print and display these messages in our Mental Health Units at Wagga Base Hospital, Community Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol services and Safe Havens.
