Description

This role is an exciting part of the launch of our Crisis Prevention Houses as therapeutic, recovery-focused, and person-centred environments that support people who are experiencing mental health challenges.

We aim to reconnect symptoms to the context of people's lives.

People who stay in the Crisis Prevention House can live in a safe environment and engage in a wide range of activities which include building life skills, learning about mental health, wellbeing support, therapy, and creative activities.

We are here to help guests get back on their feet and move forward in their lives with confidence.
