Universal Aftercare: Support After a Suicidal Crisis

Experiencing a suicidal crisis can be an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time. What happens afterwards matters too. Having someone there to provide support, connection and a pathway forward can make an important difference.

Universal Aftercare SA – Mount Barker, delivered by Mission Australia, provides timely and compassionate support for people following a suicidal crisis or suicide attempt.

The service is person-led, trauma-informed and culturally safe, with support grounded in lived experience. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Universal Aftercare works alongside each person to understand what matters to them and help them identify the support and connections that can assist their recovery.

Importantly, support doesn't have to stop when someone leaves hospital or moves beyond the immediate crisis. Universal Aftercare provides an opportunity to continue the conversation, strengthen connections and support people as they navigate the days and weeks following a suicidal crisis.

For our Mount Barker and Adelaide Hills community, having local support available is an important part of building a connected suicide prevention and aftercare network.
