BRACCA MIND is a Program that provides professional and confidential Mental Health Care for the Portuguese-speaking community in Australia.
BRACCA MIND is a non-for-profit program that provides professional and confidential Mental Health care for the Portuguese-speaking community (Portuguese, Brazilians, East Timorese, Angolan, Cape Verdean, Mozambican, Macaense, Goan and more).
Developed and run by volunteers of the Brazilian Community Council of Australia (aka BRACCA), BRACCA MIND was developed due to the high demand of people from diverse backgrounds suffering from mental health issues, specifically young immigrants and international students living in Australia.
We have witnessed a growing number of suicides, domestic violence, psychological abuse, and a huge wave of people in the community suffering from mental health issues. With this awareness, BRACCA Mind, as the official representative of the Brazilian community in Australia took the lead to bring our society together and fight for these causes.
The Program is divided into Four Stages

We need your support
We know that it is impossible to achieve the desired result if we don't work together, the help of some important channels of our society, such as NFP institutions, religious groups, Government, schools and agencies are extremely important to effectively make some changes in this terrifying scenario.
BRACCA MIND is a non-for-profit program and does not receive any funds from any institution or government.
We are now at the second stage of the program and we need to join forces to help all these people needing psychological assistance. We have more than 200 people waiting to be reached for the second stage of the program, including people at risk.
Right now, we are counting with the kind support of psychologists volunteers of Bilibio Psychology - Bpsych Clinic, but the program goes beyond only psychological consultation, many vital activities are part of the project such as, specific support for the LGBTQ+ community, support groups, social events, workshops and mental health psychoeducation materials.
We would really appreciate your assistance in helping us execute this project.
THANK YOU!
