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\u00a0inpatient mental health consumers with a psychosocial disability to arrange sustainable discharge supports to improve their health outcomes and length of stay.<\/p>\n

Consultant Lead for MIND, Carissa (left<\/em>) is a mental health clinician with 19 years’ experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m passionate about helping people to find and understand what they need to improve their lives,” Carissa said.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNo day is the same in working in Mental Health. I value the variety in meeting new people every day, as each person\u2019s story and the way that I can help them is unique<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The service is currently recruiting psychologists and neuropsychologists to undertake advanced level diagnostic assessments for these consumers.<\/p>\n
