Many are homeless with little support. The clothing and toiletries are made available to consumers in a timely and professional way with the dignity of the person the central focus.<\/p>\n<p>In the past two years since the \u201cThe Closet\u201d opened we have supported 1,050 consumers. Our team has been able to help people from the Emergency department, COVID wards, other inpatients units, community clinics, older person (inpatient and community) forensic community, and the Community Care Units at Windsor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Closet\u201d also makes an impact on staff members. When a person who is agitated is provided with clean clothes and toiletries their irritability often reduces as they become more comfortable. Safety on our wards is essential for individuals, families, and staff.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, we are now applying for a grant to support &#8220;The Closet&#8221; for another two years.<\/p>\n<p>We are very grateful for any donations that we receive. We only wish that when people made a donation they could get to see our consumers&#8217; faces. A face that is lost and scared is now one filled with hope and compassion. \u201cThe Closet\u201d changes lives, just by this one small but important action \u2013 Humanity &#8230;\u00a0 we all need it.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:100px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mental Health Lived Experience (Peer) Workforce Team at the Royal Brisbane Women\u2019s Hospital Mental Health Centre have been providing an amazing service to our consumers. \u201cThe Closet\u201d provides clothing, shoes and toiletries to consumers who are brought into the Psychiatric Emergency Centre via police or ambulance.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":11643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[170,171],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsletters","category-mhb"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;The Closet&quot;
