Short-term therapies provides psychological therapies to vulnerable people experiencing mild to moderate mental illness, and to those who have attempted or are at risk of suicide.
For the short-term therapies program, there are 2 main streams for referral depending on the individual’s mental health needs.

Stream 2
This stream offers immediate and intensive therapy to people during a period of increased risk of suicide. Nature of support will depend on choice and control of the consumer and a person’s readiness to engage in intensive therapy.
This service is designed for 3 groups of people:
Neami National’s NT Connect to Wellbeing program provides an intake assessment and referral service for the Short-Term Therapies program. They liaise with GPs and referral services to determine who is eligible and ensure the person is matched to the least intensive level of care that best suits their needs.
Firstly, a GP will complete a Mental health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and a Short-Term Therapies referral form to refer the client to NT Connect to Wellbeing. Once the referral is received, the intake and assessment staff will assess eligibility based on the MHTP. NT Connect to Wellbeing will then refer the client to an appropriate provider who will make contact with the client.
NT Connect to Wellbeing can be contacted Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm
