Taking Care of Worries

MHACA has collaborated with the Women’s Safety Services of Central Australia (WOSSCA) to develop a shared resource with MHACA.

The project is inspired by providing mental health support to Aboriginal women who are experiencing or have experienced domestic and family violence however the messaging will be broad enough to encompass being relevant to any Aboriginal women who may have ‘too many worries’ on their mind.

Taking Care of Worries is both a poster resource and A5 Flyer.

Please contact MHACA 89504600 or email info@mhaca.org.au if you would like some copies of the poster or flyers for display or distribution.

The resource was finalised in December 2021, and accompanying social media resources will be shared this year.

⚠️ TODAY: AusAlert National Test at 1:30pm NT time

At 1:30 pm NT time today, the AusAlert national test will activate on compatible mobile phones, tablets and smart watches across Australia.

Compatible devices will:
🔊 Play a loud, siren-like alarm for around 10 seconds – even if your device is on silent or Do Not Disturb
📳 Vibrate
📄 Display a message clearly stating that this is only a test

The alarm is designed to get your attention and may be distressing for some people, including those affected by domestic, family and sexual violence, people living with PTSD, and those with sensory sensitivities.

If you or someone you support may be affected, consider:
☑Turning devices off or switching to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time
☑ Leaving devices off for at least one hour
☑ Talking through a safety plan in advance if needed

You do not need to take any action if you receive the test alert.
