About Us
who we are and what we do
WHAT IS THE ANCHORAGE?
Focused on early intervention in mental health, The Anchorage works together with mental health professionals, industry leaders and professional bodies across Australia to create best practices and practical solutions to drive community support, increase self-awareness, encourage positive lifestyle choices, and facilitate ongoing support groups.
Our two key programs include our Growth Rooms – supportive mental health community networks and our Garden Rooms – quarterly events which invite the public to hear from respected profiles and leaders on a range of different mental health topics.
All of The Anchorage programs are supported by mental health professionals to ensure they are safe and effective.
how we began
The Anchorage began in November 2015 as a small committee of skilled volunteers who shared a belief that the answer to combating increasing mental illness and suicide was through prevention.
They shared the belief that empowering people with evidence-based practical information, community support and increased self-awareness would allow for stronger and more informed decision making.
The Anchorage logo was chosen because of its strong symbolism. The Anchor represents the strength and security we try to offer fellow Aussies in their time of need.
The compass represents a new direction and a positive way forward as we navigate the turbulent waters of mental health disorders.
