COVID-19 has been a difficult time for people all around the world, and Australians are no exception. Job losses, physical isolation, cancelled major lifetime events such as weddings and holidays, and the uncertainty of the foreseeable future have rapidly become the new norm for many, and thus, it is not surprising to see the mental health of Australians being a major concern. Additionally, it is reported that young people in particular will be hardest hit with mental ill-health – as 75% of disorders appear before the age of 25 years, and the leading cause of death being suicide.
