Universal Aftercare
Supporting safety, connection and care
You are not alone.
The days and weeks after a suicide attempt or crisis can feel overwhelming. This is a time when extra support can make a real difference.
The Universal Aftercare service offers free, one-to-one support to help you stay safe, feel supported and find your next steps.

How we can support you
Once you are referred, you will be connected with a trained and experienced support practitioner who will:
- check in with you regularly
- support you to feel safe
- help you make a plan for difficult moments
- listen without judgement; and
- provide support to family and loved ones if needed.
They can also help connect you with services that meet your needs, such as:
- housing support
- relationship counselling
- financial counselling
- community groups; and
- education or training.
This support can be provided in a location suitable to you.
