This program delivers in-reach healthcare services to residents in aged care facilities. Our services target residents with a diagnosed mental illness or those assessed as at risk of mental illness.
The facilitator will work collaboratively with staff to provide groups of 2-3 hours duration covering topics such as understanding mental health, reframing strategies, mindfulness and enhancing social connectedness.
