South Hedland Step Up/Step Down mental health project
The South Hedland Step Up/Step Down (SUSD) service will be at 36 Colebatch Way South Hedland. The 10-bed service will provide support for adults experiencing mental health issues in a residential, home-like setting close to community, friends and family in the Pilbara region.
SUSD services provide contemporary, therapeutic mental health care through short-term residential support and individualised care, for up to 28 days.
This includes a combination of psychosocial and clinical services, to help people manage their mental health, avoid hospitalisation and live well in their community.
The Department of Health is delivering this project in partnership with the Mental Health Commission and Department of Housing and Works.
Further information on the service, including Frequently Asked Questions, is available at www.mhc.wa.gov.au/southhedlandsusd (external site)
