The house is not be staffed overnight, to provide maximum opportunities for people staying there to take responsibility for themselves and increase their self-confidence. People have access to the mainstream mental health home treatment service 24 hours a day. We believe that everybody can recover no matter how serious the problem may appear to be. In the stay with us we hope to plant the seeds of optimism in people so that they can achieve their dreams and goals. We work with people where they are at, but with lots of optimism that they will progress.
People can stay in the house a maximum of three weeks.
They are expected to cook their own food and help with cleaning around the house. We make a commitment to work with peoples family and friends and support people to build social networks for themselves. We believe this is important to longer term recovery. We respect every person as a human being and look for their strengths and gifts, rather than focus on illness. We endeavour to provide a service that is accessible to people from different ethnic, religious, gender and sexuality backgrounds.
