Feeling a bit prickly? 🦔

We all have days when the little things get under our skin. Maybe you're feeling frustrated at work, juggling family responsibilities or finding it harder than usual to manage everyday challenges.

Whatever is making you feel a little prickly, talking it through can help.

Did you know your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can support you with more than just workplace concerns?

From work stress and relationship difficulties to personal worries and life changes, EAP provides a confidential space to talk things through and explore ways forward.

If your workplace has an EAP agreement with Relationships Australia-NT, you can access support for both work and personal matters.

Feeling a bit jumpy? 🦘

When life gets busy, stress and worries can sometimes leave us feeling on edge, overwhelmed or struggling to switch off.

Whether it's work pressures, relationship challenges, family concerns or something else on your mind, you don't have to work through it alone.

Your workplace's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) isn't just for work-related issues. It's a confidential counselling service which can also support you through personal challenges. 🤎

If your workplace has an EAP agreement with Relationships Australia-NT, support is available.

Today marks eight years since the Australian Government delivered the National Apology to Victims and Survivors of Institutional Child Sexual Abuse on 22 October 2018.

This significant moment acknowledged the profound harm experienced by victim-survivors, recognised their courage in sharing their stories and affirmed their right to be heard, believed and supported.

Eight years on, we acknowledge the ongoing impacts of institutional child sexual abuse on victim-survivors, their families and communities and the importance of ensuring that support remains accessible, compassionate and trauma-informed.

At RA-NT, our National Redress Scheme Support Service provides free, confidential and trauma-informed support to people who have experienced institutional child sexual abuse. Our team can help victim-survivors understand their options, navigate the National Redress Scheme application process and access emotional support throughout their journey.

Applications to the National Redress Scheme remain open until 30 June 2027.

Today and every day, we stand alongside victim-survivors and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring their voices are heard, their experiences acknowledged and their wellbeing supported.

Supporting workplace wellbeing in Alice Springs! 🌿

At Relationships Australia-NT, we believe investing in staff wellbeing is an important step towards building positive workplace cultures where people feel supported, valued and connected.

💚 NT Mental Health Week is here.

This year’s theme, Small Steps, is a reminder that looking after our mental health and social and emotional wellbeing doesn’t always require big changes.

A small step might be checking in with someone you care about, taking a break when you need one, spending time outside, connecting with culture or community, moving your body or making time for something which brings you joy.

At Relationships Australia – NT, we know strong, supportive relationships and meaningful connections can play an important role in our wellbeing. Sometimes, a small step can also be starting a conversation or reaching out for support.

Throughout NT Mental Health Week, we encourage everyone to think about the small things that help you feel connected, supported and well.

What does a small step for your social and emotional wellbeing look like?

Every year, more than 3,300 people in Australia die by su***de. Behind every death is a person, and their loss is felt deeply by families, friends, colleagues and communities.

This Thursday, 10 September, is World Su***de Prevention Day. This year's theme, 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦, encourages us to think about how we talk about su***de and mental distress, and how we can move beyond silence and stigma.

These conversations aren't always easy. But they matter.

Su***de is complex, and none of us can fix it alone. But taking the time to listen, check in and let someone know they're not on their own can matter more than we realise.

As World Su***de Prevention Day approaches, it's worth reflecting on how we can support one another and help reduce the stigma that too often stops people from reaching out.

→ If you are in immediate danger, or know someone who is, please call 000 or visit your nearest hospital.
