We are working with the community and young people.

We provide a recovery focused mental health service, supporting clients to build a self-determined meaningful and satisfying life and personal identity, regardless of whether or not there are ongoing symptoms of mental illness.

Our practice encourages self-determination and self-management of mental health and wellbeing. It involves tailored, personalised and strengths-based care that is responsive to a client’s unique strengths, circumstances, needs and preferences.

As we live in this community, we are dedicated in seeing that it thrives as a healthy vibrant one. Our commitment includes holding regular forums to educate and empower the community, as well as setup peer support groups to provide a safe environment for those with similar issues to meet and share.

As part of our community education we will work to de-stigmatise mental illness and encourage the community to talk about their feelings and thoughts without the fear of being judged. With greater acceptance in our community of the fact that mental health is as important as your physical health we want our youth to have the freedom to seek help without any stigma being attached.
