Our work
What we do
Butterfly Circle brings together support, education and connection, so no one has to find their way alone.
Rather than short-term help alone, we're working towards a continuum of care. This means ongoing, community-based support that meets people where they are and stays with them over time.
These are the areas of support Butterfly Circle is being developed around. Programs and availability will grow as the organisation establishes its partnerships and services.
A continuum of care
We aim to fill the gap, once crisis services end; and your life begins.
Support that continues
Staying alongside people after crisis
These areas are about staying connected and helping people find their footing.
After-crisis support
Ongoing, non-clinical support once immediate crisis services have ended, so people are not left on their own.
Outreach
Gently reaching people who may feel isolated, disconnected or hard to reach.

Connection and community
Rebuilding belonging and trust
Recovery is easier alongside other people. These areas help rebuild the belonging, confidence and connection that crisis can erode.
Peer-led groups
Groups grounded in shared, lived experience, where people support one another.
Community events
Welcoming gatherings that bring people together and reduce isolation.
Growth, learning and change
Moving forward, together
Longer-term change involves both people and the systems around them. These areas focus on wellbeing, understanding and fairer support.
Recovery-focused programs
Community programs informed by research and social science, focused on wellbeing over time.
Education
Learning that helps people, families and workplaces understand trauma and recovery.
Advocacy
Standing alongside people and speaking up for fairer, more inclusive systems.
