Our Residential Recovery Program provides a range of supported accommodation for people with severe and enduring mental illnesses and associated psychosocial disability. Our homes offer residents a comfortable and homely opportunity to live alongside people, begin to make friends, regain and build on strengths and connect with the community. We work in partnership with mental health services, primary care providers, family members and other agencies chosen by individuals.
We focus on individual resident aspirations and assist them to live the life they wish to live. We recognise that this is their home, and ensure all aspects of the program are individually focused and driven by the needs of the residents, not the needs of the program. We use a strength based recovery focused approach when supporting residents with;
Building relationships including house mates, family, friends and others
Participation in meaningful activities and past times
Personal self-care, grooming and hygiene
Cleaning and maintaining their home
Managing their money
Moving within the community
