• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hey Steffi,

just found a few more to add - a few of them I've dealt with myself and highly recommend them.

Violence against Women Australia says no campaign hotline

QLD Brisbane resources:

BRISSC ( Brisbane Rape and Incest survivor support center - only take people with in their catchment area)

Zigzag - for women under 25 (offers counselling , group therapy etc)

The Statewide Sexual Assault Helpline FREECALL: 1800 010 120
(operates 9am - 1am everyday, runs from the Royal Brisbane Hospital - if you can't get thru the first time just keep trying until someone picks up)

dvconnect
24 hrs 1800 811 811

Women's Infolink on 1800 177 577

Legal Aid Call Centre (know your rights)
1300 651 188
www.legalaid.qld.gov.au

a more extensive list of numbers Queensland wide

hope these help
