Outreach Program
The Outreach Program provides mental health treatment through individual visits conducted in the home or community, by an outreach clinician. The focus of this therapeutic support is to enable individuals to recover, develop and revise coping strategies and remain well. Community based treatments seek to minimise disruption to a person’s day-to-day living by reducing the length and frequency of hospital stays, or providing treatment at home as an alternative to a hospital admission.
