MHACA Services During COVID-19

The Mental Health Association of Central Australia (MHACA) is providing an essential service to people who have severe and complex mental health issues and will continue to support our participants through this difficult time.

At this stage all our programs, including the Day Program, remain open with increased hygiene and physical distancing measures in place.

Our hours of operation remain the same Monday to Friday 8am-4pm, and our Drop-in Centre continues to be open Monday 8.30am-1pm, Tuesday to Friday 8.30am-3pm at 14 Lindsay Avenue, East Side.

Some of our group activities have changed or have been modified. Participants can contact MHACA on 89504600 to book an activity or for further information.

MHACA is still accepting referrals and people can contact MHACA to organise an intake interview.

MHACA staff will also be visiting all participants in the next week with information packs and to discuss what supports they might need. If the MHACA office needs to close for a period of time MHACA will still support participants.

MHACA asks service providers and community members who need to come to the MHACA office to observe safety and hygiene measures, and please do not come if you are unwell or have returned from interstate or overseas travel within the last 14 days.

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.
