The Way Back NSW (TWB NSW), formerly known as The Way Back Support Service, provides primarily non-clinical care and practical support to individuals following a suicide attempt or suicidal crisis.
People who have attempted suicide or experienced a suicidal crisis often experience severe distress in the days and weeks immediately afterwards, and they are at high risk of attempting again. The Way Back NSW supports people through this critical risk period.
A Support Coordinator contacts the person within one business day of receiving their referral and tailors a program for approximately three months. This program is built on personal connection and integration with community services.
A Way Back Aftercare Coordinator based at each of the participating local health districts helps to facilitate the referral process and build awareness of the program across hospital and community mental health staff.
The Way Back is funded under a bilateral agreement between the Australian Government Department of Health and NSW Ministry of Health. To find out more, visit https://www.neaminational.org.au/find-services/the-way-back-support-service-sydney/
