MHACA reconnects with the Tennant Creek community đŸ’›

We had a great time back in Tennant Creek reconnecting with community and sharing a BBQ at Peko Park, hosted by the Marlungku-Kari Child and Family Centre (Julalikari Council Aboriginal Corporation).

Community members shared their experiences and the challenges of accessing mental health training and support in the region. We heard a strong message about the importance of consistent programs and continued advocacy for better services in Tennant Creek.

MHACA will be back on Wednesday 20 May 2026 to deliver a FREE safeYARN suicide prevention training at the Marlungku-Kari Child and Family Centre. All community members are welcome to attend, call (08) 8963 2187 to book your spot.

Thanks for having us!
