WCC Mental Health and Wellbeing Counselling Support

​WCC Mental Health and Wellbeing Counselling Support

WCC has partnered with DS Psychology in Ringwood to fund 3 counselling sessions for any current playing members (including juniors) and their family members. This funding has been made possible through a generous grant from the Bendigo Bank in Warrandyte.

​How does it work?

Simply contact DS Psychology on (03) 9872 6255, speak to their receptionist and arrange an appointment. You will need to mention that you are part of the WCC in order to access this funded service. DS Psychology will then invoice the club and the club will pay for up to 3 counselling sessions. It is important to note that the invoicing is anonymous and that at no time will the club know any individual’s name, just that someone from the club has used this service.

​What if you need more than 3 sessions?

Once you’ve taken the important step of accessing counselling, you may find that you want to continue for more than just 3 sessions. There are a few ways that you can continue counselling with DS Psychology.

• Getting a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Medicare will fund up to 20 sessions per calendar year with a psychologist or mental health social worker. There are usually some out of pocket expenses incurred.

​• Some private health insurance policies cover psychological services. In this instance, a Mental Health Care Plan is not required, but the out of pocket expenses are usually higher.

Or you may be able to access EAP counselling services through your workplace. Ask your manager or HR Department about how to access EAP services.

​What issues can I see a psychologist for?

Issues related to:
• Stress and anxiety
• Relationships
• Work/life balance
• Anger and Violence
• Managing Change
• Addiction and substance misuse
• Family challenges and parenting
• Depression
• Suicidal thoughts
• Bereavement, grief and loss
• Trauma and conflict
• Gambling
• Loneliness and isolation
• Bullying and harassment
• Playing in the 8th XI

WCC hopes that in some small way this program supports club members to get the mental health support they need. However, there are services available for help and support right now:

• Beyond Blue
• Lifeline or call on 13 11 14 for short-term support if you are feeling overwhelmed or have immediate concerns for your safety.
• Headspace
• Black Dog Institute
• Reach Out
• Mental Health Foundation Australia

If you have any questions about this counselling program, please contact Rachel Watts on 0400 683 430 or haywatt@bigpond.net.au or anyone from the wellbeing team.
