This service provides dedicated support for people with severe mental illness who are ready for discharge from a Specialist Mental Health Inpatient Unit. A case management approach, linking with community and clinical mental health services is employed. Referrals are from the Specialist Mental Health Inpatient Units.
Housing Support is a program designed:
- To assist people with severe and persistent mental illness to maintain existing accommodation or seek out appropriate accommodation pre-discharge from a specialist Mental Health inpatient unit.
- To provide support upon discharge to re-establish independent living.
The overarching aim of the program is to provide a continuum of care to clients for a minimum period of six months, until the client is able to live independently in the community with appropriate mainstream services engaged as required.
Referral to Lamp consumer services can be made through the South West Mental Health Services Offices, your GP or Private Psychologist, Psychiatrist or Counsellor or self referal with Lamp Inc by calling 9754 1834.
