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.

MHACA delivers the NT Aftercare Service — a free, voluntary and non-clinical program for non-Indigenous adults (18+) living in Alice Springs who have experienced a suicidal crisis.

💚 What is the NT Aftercare Service?
It’s a 3-month program offering inclusive, flexible and person-centred support. We welcome people from all backgrounds, including culturally and linguistically diverse communities and the LGBTQIA+ community.

💚 How we support you
Our team meets people where they are, focusing on safety, connection and recovery. Grounded in lived experience, our approach is based on respect, compassion and genuine care.
Support may include:
• Safety planning
• Help to make or attend appointments
• Referrals to clinical or community services
• A wellness and recovery plan
• Regular check-ins by phone, text or in person (your choice)

💚 For First Nations people:
A dedicated Aftercare Program is available through the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress. Both services work closely together to ensure safe and culturally appropriate referrals.

📩 Referrals
With verbal or written consent, referrals can be made by phone or email. We aim to respond within 24–48 hours (weekdays).

🚨 Important
The NT Aftercare Service is not a crisis service.
If someone’s life is in immediate danger, please call 000 or go directly to the hospital.
