Puberty can be a tough time for all young people - but for kids with intellectual disability and autism it can be even harder, for both them and their parents and carers.

That's why Planet Puberty is here to help!

Check out Leah’s story.

Leah Sheppard was in her early 30s when her mental health began to suffer. For a long time she wasn’t sure what was happening to her and didn’t want to “bother” anyone about it. So, she pushed on in silence.

Like so many women, Leah was juggling countless demands while keeping her struggle hidden.

This Women’s Health Week, she shared her story with us and a powerful reminder: recognise the early signs of a mental health condition, and seek help before you reach crisis point.

Leah wants you to know, “there is no shame in having a mental health condition or seeking support.” If you’re struggling, you deserve help – and it is available.

Beyond Blue offers free mental health services. Their Support Service is available 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 and via webchat or email at beyondblue.org.au/get-support.
