Services Provided
Mission Australia provides the Personal Helpers and Mentors Program, which
aims to provide increased opportunities for the recovery of people who have a
severe functional limitation resulting from mental illness. This program is also
available in Alice Springs.
The program helps people to better manage their daily activities and provides
access to a range of appropriate services and supports. Mission Australia staff
work with small caseloads and provide personal one-on-one support.
The sobering up shelters in Darwin and Katherine promote individual and
community well being by minimising the harm associated with alcohol and other
substances, through a coordinated range of approaches.
