Why is Facere a Game Changer for Mental Health industry where people are crying for help?

On Thursday 31 October 2019, the Productivity Commission released its Draft Report. The Productivity Commission estimates that mental ill-health and suicide are costing Australia up to $180 billion per year and treatment and services are not meeting community expectations. “Mental ill-health has huge impacts on people, communities and our economy but mental health is treated as an add-on to the physical health system. This has to change,” Productivity Commission Chair, Michael Brennan said.

The combination of COVID-19, higher interest rates, and high inflation is putting additional strain on the economy and impacting various sectors. In 2021. Over 2 in 5 (44%, or 8.6 million) Australians aged 16-85 are estimated to have experienced a mental disorder at some time in their life, with 1 in 5 (21%, or 4.2 million) having experienced a mental disorder in the previous 12 months.

• Anxiety disorders (such as Social Phobia) are the most common type of disorder, affecting 1 in 6 (17%, or 3.3 million) Australians, followed by Affective disorders (such as Depressive Episode) (8%), and Substance Use disorders (such as Alcohol Dependence) (3.%).
• Almost 1 in 7 (14%) children and adolescents aged 4-17 years are estimated to have experienced a mental illness in the previous 12 months.
• 5% or 800,000 people are estimated to have a severe mental illness, of which 500,000 people have episodic mental illness and 300,000 have persistent mental illness.
• Mental and substance use disorders were the second largest contributor (24%) of the non-fatal burden of disease in Australia.

Due to shortage of staff, a large percentage of mental health hotline calls were unanswered and counsellors are stuggling to cope with people needing help. For example, up to 60% of calls to South Australia's mental health triage line go unanswered, nursing union finds.

Also more than half of children who contact a free national phone counselling service are unable to get through, as demand for mental health support increases.

Some 328,424 children contacted the Kids Helpline last year but only two in five were able to reach a counsellor due to a shortage of counsellors, new data shows.
