Mental Health
services

How can we help?

We offer specialist services to support individuals living with a mental illness or mental health concern in regional and metropolitan South Australia.

We work closely with Government Mental Health Services, to support people in living safely in the community.

UnitingSA’s Mental Health Services are designed to help you handle life’s obstacles, form positive relationships and work towards your goals.

Our Mental Health Services are accredited with the National Standards for Mental Health Services 2010.

Our programs

  • Avalon Supported Accommodation

    Avalon is aimed at supporting people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to build the skills and confidence needed to live independently in the community. To access the service the person needs to be supported by Southern Mental Health Services and be approved for Category One Housing by Housing SA.

    For more information on Avalon or to discuss a referral, please contact your Southern Mental Health Services worker.

  • Drought Recovery Support

    We offer free and confidential mental health support for people living in drought‑affected regions.

    Drought is affecting many people in our community and we understand how tough it can be. If you or someone you know is struggling or not feeling quite themselves, we’re here to help.

“I would still be on the streets if it wasn’t for the support of UnitingSA. It means the world to me to have a house for my whole family and to be able to tuck my children in at night.”
