NEW Mental Health Day Program 💙

A new pathway for mental health support is now available in Bendigo.

St John of God Bendigo Hospital has launched Bendigo’s first private Mental Health Day Program, providing another important option for people needing structured mental health support, close to home.

The 12-week program supports adults experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, depression, stress and other wellbeing challenges. Participants attend a weekly three-hour group session, developing practical skills to strengthen resilience, confidence and emotional wellbeing while continuing to live, work and recover within their community.

Led by Dr Hyacinta Zavier, Psychiatrist, and James Coates, Registered Psychiatric Nurse, with support from Mr Girish Hiremath, Clinical Psychologist.

With the need for accessible mental health services continuing to grow, we’re proud to expand the care available locally.

It is with much admiration and gratitude that we farewell Judy Woodlock, who has been a treasured part of our Volunteer Constellation for an incredible 22 years. 🧡

Since joining us in 2004, Judy has generously contributed more than 1,500 volunteer hours, providing invaluable clerical and coffee shop support across our hospital.

Judy’s familiar Tuesday presence has become part of the fabric of our hospital. Her warm smile, kindness and willingness to help have touched so many caregivers, patients and visitors over the years.

As Judy begins her next chapter and moves closer to her family, we thank her for the extraordinary contribution she has made to our hospital community.

Thank you, Judy, for 22 wonderful years of service. We wish you good health, happiness and plenty of special moments with your family. 🧡
