What is NESS?
Our approach
Neami believe in everyone having the opportunity to live a meaningful life. We support people to achieve mental health and wellbeing outcomes that matter to them. We provide free services across Australia to support mental health and wellbeing, housing and homelessness, and suicide prevention. We support 38,000 people each year across 34 First Nations lands. Our experience and expertise mean that we are well-placed to support people to address their wellbeing in a variety of ways.
NESS is rooted in Collaborative Relational Practice (CRP), fostering an empowering, strengths-based approach that supports collaboration and autonomy.
At the heart of CRP is an understanding that relationships based on care and connection matter. We believe that doing things with people rather than to them makes a difference. And being responsive to people’s individual life situation matters.
