I HAVEN’T RECEIVED A REPLY…
As we are using the standard SMS network to facilitate a digital experience, sometimes things never make it back to you. If you are concerned this has happened, please reach out via Instagram or sophie@chvoid.com
WHERE CAN I GET FURTHER SELF-DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES?
VOID’s Service Desk has been built as a resource for continuing your self-expansion and mastery. We have curated some of our most used and trusted practitioners across different restoration/healing modalities, as there is no one-size fits all approach to healing. If you are seeking mental support within the medical system, please consider booking in with your local GP or ringing a tele-health service, and asking for a mental health plan.
WHAT IS A MENTAL HEALTH PLAN?
In Australia, a Mental Health Plan or Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) is a document a doctor creates for you that allows you to have discounted sessions with psychologists and other mental health specialists. Once you have had a consultation with a doctor and acquired a mental health plan, you can book in with a psychologist of your choice.
