Our inpatient mental health program
Based on best practice and proven therapies, our inpatient mental health programs are outcome-focused and designed to provide you (or your loved one) with the mental health tools and support you/they need.
An individualised program will be tailored for you based on your diagnosis, symptoms and your experiences at different points during your inpatient program.
We will work closely with you to ensure that you receive the best possible support and care during and after your stay with us.
