Mental Health & Suicide Prevention

13YARN is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander crisis support helpline.

At Pathfinders, we deliver tailored outdoor and adventure-based programs that promote social inclusion and enable healing for vulnerable young people. Our programs are designed to be accessible and promote pro-social behaviours, internal capacities, and community connections. Depending on the needs of the young person or group, our programs can range from a few hours to a few days in length. We believe that by providing supportive and nurturing environments, we can help young people overcome adversity and build a brighter future.

Our therapeutic adventure programs are open to young people aged 10-17. We conduct both group and individual programs. We have limited spaces available so it’s important to make a referral as soon as possible to secure a spot. These are fee for service programs.

Make a referral through our website www.pathfindersNT.com.au

After 4+ years of supporting people through the ‘Housing and Support Initiative‘ (HASI) in the Greater Darwin and Katherine communities, from January 2 2023, Anglicare NT will no longer deliver this service. Please note the provider of the new ‘Housing Support Program’ is the Salvation Army. We wish the Salvation Army well with the new program.

HASI has made a positive difference in the lives of many people and Anglicare NT would like to thank participants, carers, our staff and stakeholders and in particular Top End Mental Health Services for your contribution to this initiative and the journey from service establishment, implementation, evaluation through to the transition process.  We also acknowledge Department of Health for funding HASI and the guidance provided by members of the HASI Reference Group.
