If you have a mental illness and need support to get the most out of daily life we can help you manage your recovery. At MIFA(NT) we understand that a diagnosis of mental illness affects families and loved ones as well as the individual and we provide support, education, advocacy and respite for carers and families and friends. All our programs are delivered with the input and participation of people who themselves live with or are affected by mental illness.
One in five will experience some form of mental illness in their lifetime. If you have been diagnosed with a mental illness you are not alone and we can help you on the road to recovery with our range of services and programs. Programs in Darwin include:
Carer Programs
Training and Education
NDIS Providers
Early Intervention Program (Alice Springs & Tennant Creek)
If a friend or a loved one has been diagnosed with a mental illness you are not alone and we can help. Here at MIFA(NT) we understand that when someone is diagnosed with a mental illness, they are not the only one affected by symptoms and changes in behaviour. Families and carers also need support to understand and manage the changes presented by their loved ones and also to effectively look after themselves.
Our range of carer programs provides information and education about mental illness, being a carer and the mental health system. Our services also include respite, individual and group support and advocacy.
Our Child and Youth program is delivered throughout Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and the Barkly Region. This free program aims to work in partnership with families and carers to provide flexible support for children and youth. We encourage young people and their families from our service areas who are experiencing difficulties, to approach our team directly for assistance.
If you or someone you know is experiencing, at risk of experiencing or caring for someone with a mental illness call us on 1800 985 944 or visit www.mifant.org.au for more information.
