Heads Up Youth Wellbeing event

More than 350 young people joined us at the Heads Up event On Monday 13 November. They learnt about how to support their wellbeing and enjoyed some live music, speakers, face painting and workshops. 10 local organisations hosted stalls and engaged kids with interactive and educational activities.
This event was possible due to a strong collaborative effort between local services acknowledging the need to support youth in our community. A special thank you to the local schools and youth organisations who attended.
Heads Up was organised by MHACA, with the support of headspace Alice Springs, the Northern Territory PHN and Alice Springs Town Council.

This week is #LonelinessAwarenessWeek 3-9 August 2026.

Connection doesn’t happen by accident. It grows in the spaces we create for each other.

A spare seat at the table, an open invitation, a smiling face on arrival, an event built around something you love, a circle that stretches a little wider – these small but deliberate acts of room-making help us all show up, belong and feel less alone.

Loneliness is one of the primary social challenges reported by individuals with mental health conditions in Australia. Two in five young Australians feel lonely at any given time, and one in seven experiences persistent loneliness.
