Consultant Lead for MIND, Carissa
Mental Health Intensive Discharge Team
Metro North is establishing an exciting initiative to transition long stay mental health consumers to their homes sooner. The Mental Health Intensive Discharge (MIND) team will be providing a Metro North Wide service to inpatient mental health consumers with a psychosocial disability to arrange sustainable discharge supports to improve their health outcomes and length of stay.
Consultant Lead for MIND, Carissa (left) is a mental health clinician with 19 years’ experience.
“I’m passionate about helping people to find and understand what they need to improve their lives,” Carissa said.
“No day is the same in working in Mental Health. I value the variety in meeting new people every day, as each person’s story and the way that I can help them is unique.”
“People joining the MIND team will be part of this innovative initiative, using discipline specific skills and applying specialist skills in assessment and advocacy to achieve positive outcomes.”
The service is currently recruiting psychologists and neuropsychologists to undertake advanced level diagnostic assessments for these consumers.
