About Universal Aftercare

Universal Aftercare provides free, non-clinical support to help improve safety, wellbeing and social connection.

We support people and their loved ones following a suicidal crisis or attempt for a period of up to three months.

We work alongside people accessing the service to create a tailored plan and connect them to clinical and community services.

This is an outreach service. Our team meet people, and those supporting them, in a place of their choosing.

Who is this for?

Universal Aftercare is for people who

  • are aged 16 years and older
  • have presented to Fiona Stanley Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital following a suicide attempt or suicidal crisis
  • are not accessing similar community-based services.

 

What to expect 

Our Community Care Coordinators offer compassionate, non-judgemental support. Some of our team have their own experience of suicidal thoughts or an attempt.

Based on your needs and priorities, we can support you to:

  • create a plan that helps you decide what to do and who to call when you feel distressed
  • develop a wellbeing plan for your next steps
  • connect with local services such as health, counselling, financial services and community groups
  • build your confidence and connect with family, friends and social networks.

Support can be provided:

  • for a period of up to three months
  • face-to-face in your home, in the community or our offices
  • over the phone or via video chat.

How to access this service

You can be referred to our service through Fiona Stanley Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

If you are a health professional and would like to refer someone, please email: PerthAftercare@neaminational.org.au.
