Connected in Wellbeing: Psychological therapies in residential aged care facilities - METROPOLITAN ADELAIDE
Connected in Wellbeing offers free therapeutic services to older persons with severe mental illness who are living in residential aged care facilities in the Adelaide metropolitan region.
Connected in Wellbeing works with people experiencing challenging circumstances providing support with:
- family relationships
- adjusting to a new environment
- dealing with trauma, grief and loss
- experiencing severe mental illness.
Support is provided by qualified and experienced mental health clinicians up to 12 sessions. Sessions are focused on the needs of the individual to develop strategies that support their emotional wellbeing.
The first appointment gives you the opportunity to speak about issues that are concerning you.
You can then begin to develop skills to improve your quality of life.
Your clinician will help you to understand what might be getting in the way of you being able to get enjoyment out of life. They will also help you to develop the skills to increase your feelings of wellbeing.
The Connected in Wellbeing program is commissioned by the Adelaide PHN via the Links to Wellbeing Consortium.
