Mental Health Services

UnitingCare West’s mental health services are holistic in nature and are provided with the goal of supporting individuals in the community with their recovery journey. 

The programs focus on strengths – in other words what people with a mental illness can do rather than what they can’t.  They also focus on recovery, demonstrating that people with mental illness can lead fulfilled lives in the community with the same opportunities as all people.

Our innovative services also connect people with their communities, by engaging the assistance of volunteers and peer support workers who help us implement programs.
