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.
