Grief, loss or trauma
If you’re experiencing grief, loss, or trauma, reaching out for support to someone you trust can be a good first step towards recovery.
Grief and loss
Grief is a natural response to the loss of a loved one, relationship, or pregnancy. You can also feel grief if you’ve lost financial stability or had a decline in your health. It’s an individual process and affects everyone differently.

Trauma
Trauma is a response to a distressing event event that may have happened recently or in the past.
Learn more about trauma, visit Beyond Blue.
Inter-generational trauma
If people don’t have the opportunity to heal from trauma, they may unknowingly pass it on to others. This creates developmental issues for children, who are particularly susceptible to distress.
The Healing Foundation focuses on inter-generational healing by creating a place of safety for Stolen Generations survivors and their families to speak for themselves and be in charge of their own healing.
Who can help me in the NT?
If you are unsure about who to talk to or who can help, a good place to start is your local GP. If you live in a small town or community, your local health clinic or community service are the best places to go, as they can refer you to specialist support.
If you are unsure of which service is best for you, contact the service navigators at Head to Health.
