Our Clinical Care program provides support to adults with complex and enduring mental health and psychosocial needs for up to 12 months.
Our aim is to help individuals to better manage their health, so they can stay well and out of hospital.
A dedicated caseworker works with the participant and their GP to plan and access the right support for their wellbeing.
Our team works to assist individuals in identifying and addressing barriers to their recovery through practical support, referrals and connection to community.
The program works to:
- improve their mental health and wellbeing
- set goals and meet them
- develop a safety plan
- develop strategies to manage their mental health
- make contact with family and support people, when appropriate
- maintain and develop new links with services.
Eligibility for the program includes those:
- who have a clinically diagnosed mental illness
- whose social, personal or occupational functioning is significantly impacted
- who may also have psychosocial needs that are impacting your recovery such as substance use, homelessness, domestic violence or unemployment.
Those who are not eligible include:
- participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
- individuals receiving case management or treatment from Hunter New England Community Mental Health Services
- individuals who already are receiving comprehensive support from other services.
