MHACA has been busy celebrating 2018 Mental Health Week. A highlight this year was recognition of the wonderful contribution Kath Broadbent has made to the mental health sector over many years. She was awarded Mental Health Worker of the Year by the Hon. Vicki OHalloran, Administrator of the Northern Territory at Government House on the 10th October 2018.
MHACA joined the DASA Alice Springs 40-year event to celebrate the work they do supporting people impacted by alcohol and other drug use. We had a great morning at the Alice Springs Town Council lawns and had good conversations with service providers and community members who visited our health promotion stall. Thanks for having us!
We hope you have a great weekend and have a chance to enjoy some time in nature!
If you or someone you know needs some support over the weekend, reach out to friends and family or try some of the 24-hour phone and online services:
