International Women’s Day – Tuesday 8 March

MHACA attended a fantastic International Women’s Fair Day event on the Alice Springs Hospital Lawns on Tuesday 8 March.

An initiative of Tangentyere Council and the Alice Springs Women’s Shelter for International Women’s Day, the fair celebrated the talents and hard work of women from Alice Springs and town camp communities.

The MHACA stall asked fair goers to describe a small activity they could do regularly to keep themselves mentally healthy – in return for a MHACA water bottle filled with icy water – perfect for a hot day in Alice Springs!

These ‘mental health promises’ were written on coloured pieces of paper and stuck to poster boards to inspire other fair goers to think about the small actions that we can each take as individuals to keep ourselves mentally healthy.

The #nomorerallyagainstviolence was held this morning in Mparntwe/Alice Springs to raise awareness about the alarming national crisis of domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV). We heard powerful speeches from Chay Brown, Charlene Campbell, PC Clarke, Anna Ryan and Kumalie Riley Kngwarraye addressing the alarming situation in the Northern Territory and asking for critical funding, secure housing, true representation, and mandatory trauma-informed training for first responders.

DFSV survivors are at higher risk of depression, anxiety, substance misuse disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 000 and ask for the police.

You can talk to a specialist domestic and family violence counsellor 24 hours, 7 days a week by calling the 1800RESPECT National Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Counselling Service on 1800 737 732.
