mental health and behavioural therapy

At Courageous Minds, we provide accessible and compassionate mental health and therapeutic services for children, young people and adults across regional and rural communities. Our work supports individuals to better understand their mental health, strengthen emotional wellbeing and develop practical strategies for managing behaviours of concern.

 

Our approach is evidence‑based, holistic and person‑centred, with a strong focus on reducing stigma, removing barriers to support and improving overall wellbeing.

​

Our team offers a range of therapeutic supports, including counselling, behaviour therapy, emotional regulation support, coping skills development and assistance with navigating challenges at home, school and in the community. We work alongside individuals to understand their experiences, manage stress, build resilience and develop positive behaviour strategies that promote long‑term wellbeing.

​

Courageous Minds also provides Behaviour Support and therapeutic services for participants who access funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This includes Functional Behaviour Assessments, Behaviour Support Plans and ongoing behaviour support interventions, as well as therapeutic supports under Capacity Building – Improved Relationships. NDIS is one of several funding pathways available to our clients.

​

Our services are especially valuable in rural and remote areas where support options may be limited, particularly for individuals with complex mental health needs or behaviours of concern. We provide a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for all people, regardless of cultural background, gender identity or sexual identity.

​

We currently support clients in the Ballarat, Beaufort, Ararat and Stawell regions. Please contact us for more information about accessing services in your area.
