White Cloud Foundation (WCF) has acted upon evidence-based research to develop, test, and implement a multi-disciplinary approach in the treatment of depression. WCF believes in removing barriers to provide easy, early access to professional, clinically proven services and individualised, consumer-centred treatment plans.
Since its inception, WCF has worked with clinicians, researchers, and administrators at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and QUT Health Clinics to test a multidisciplinary model-of-care for mothers at risk of or living with perinatal depression and people with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Out of these successful clinical trials, WCF has developed and implemented its Meals for Mums and White Cloud Tele-Mental Health services.
The Meals for Mums service assisting mothers with perinatal depression has been successfully operating in Queensland and Tasmania since 2016 and now supports around 800 mothers and their families a year.
The White Cloud Tele-Mental Health Service, launched on 4 August 2021 to provide clinical and practical support to improve mental health and wellbeing. It is free to access, does not require a referral or Mental Health Plan, and can be accessed from wherever you live.
White Cloud Sport provides the opportunity for sporting associations to partner with White Cloud Foundation in the delivery of mental health treatment and support services.
WCF is developing other programs to provide practical support to people living with or at risk of developing depression and has some volunteer-led programs including Steaks with Mates.
