New Mental Health Tenancy Support Program

MHACA is excited to announce a new program with a focus on supporting participants to obtain and maintain secure housing. The program emphasises a client centred approach with an aim to deliver a holistic and tailored plan for the individual.

Along with the new program we also welcome the two new Tenancy Support Workers who will be implementing the program. Michelle Fearnhead, who will be working full time and Helen Law, who will work three days per week. Both have extensive experience and knowledge that will benefit the program and the participants and both are looking forward to engaging with participants and stakeholders and building positive and rewarding connections.

The Mental Health Tenancy Support Program can help individuals understand their rights and responsibilities as tenants, advocate on their behalf, and assist with other issues and worries that might be impacting on their ability to maintain a tenancy.

A referral form will soon be uploaded to our website, but in the meantime, please contact the MH-TSP workers on 8952 4600 to find out more about the program or to make a referral.

More information can also be found on the Individual Support Services page in this website.

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.
