Our Transitional Care Program provides twelve weeks of psychosocial support, specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are leaving corrections and residential rehab facilities. This program aims to assist these individuals to transition back into the community successfully.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are exiting from custodial or residential treatment facilities have some of the highest rates of relapse. The Transitional Care Program assists people by supporting them through the change and reintegration process.
This program provides pre-release and community-based drug and alcohol care coordination support to people in the program. The service engages participants in a respectful, culturally appropriate manner to assist them with their treatment at varying stages, whether it be abstaining from drugs and/or alcohol, managing mental health, or taking care of their wellbeing.
Who we help
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 18-65 years, who are exiting corrective services or a residential rehabilitation facility.
