Western Australia’s peak mental health consumer body is calling for more community support for people transitioning out of hospital mental health care.
Chief Executive of Consumers of Mental Health Western Australia, Shauna Gaebler, says more support is needed for people to create a stable life outside of hospital and avoid readmission.
Mental Health Minister Stephen Dawson says the government plans to establish active recovery teams by the middle of the year which will ensure patients have support to leave hospital and remain well in the community.
If you need support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
