“Full citizenship for all people living with mental health issues in Australian society”
The Kalgoorlie Mental Health Step Up Step Down Service (KMHSS) is a 10 bed Step Up Step Down facility that provides a community based psychosocial recovery based option for people who are becoming unwell and at risk of being referred to hospital (‘step up’) or leaving hospital but in need of extra support to transition back to into the community (‘step down). The KMHSS aims to prevent avoidable mental health inpatient admissions. KMHSS is staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and is funded by the WA Mental Health Commission.
The service is available to people living in the Goldfields region for up to a 28 day stay. The service provides support for people who are aged 16 years and over (16-17yo may require additional consent), and during their stay consumers are assisted to develop a relapse prevention or wellness plan. We use an approach called the Collaborative Recovery Model (CRM) to support people through our services. The CRM assists individuals to identify their personal strengths and values, to set goals and then helps them make progress towards achieving them.
