"The great thing about NewAccess was the accessibility. I was under so much stress financially and it was free."
"It was the first time someone actually discussed my feelings and how I was at the time."
NewAccess, a free coaching program developed by Beyond Blue for anyone who’s feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed about everyday life has made a big difference to 21 year old Sam Daddo's life.
When 44-year-old Tara contacted her local NewAccess coach in early 2020, she didn’t know how the program could help her or even exactly what it was she needed help with – she just knew she had to do something.
When a combination of events and circumstances left 66-year-old Sue feeling down and like she wasn’t coping, she discovered NewAccess.
