[Description] => The reality is that Australia and the world are in a pandemic-fuelled mental health crisis of epic proportion. It is therefore understandable, and perhaps inevitable, that clients who don’t know where to turn for relief from mental health suffering would see their helpful and caring chiropractor as a safe haven.
Chiropractors can feel understandably concerned, unprepared, and uncomfortable when being asked for support in this way.
