How we help
Our program supports young people aged 16-25 to develop strategies to manage their mental health, while living in a therapeutic community environment with other young people. Through a blend of individual and group supports, participants are supported to identify and work on their recovery goals.
Through the ITC program, we'll support you to;
- Develop a personalised recovery plan, identifying what you want your mental health recovery to look like
- Build confidence and social skills through groups and daily interactions with other young people
- Learn daily living skills
- Build your independence, confidence and leadership skills
Who is it for?
For young people anywhere in Australia
This service is for young people, aged 16-25 anywhere in Australia. The service acts as a 12-month stepping stone for young people aiming to build practical life skills and confidence for independent living. While you’re engaging in our program, we’ll support you to continue to connect with your community outside of the ITC, however that looks for you; work, study, social groups, volunteering, external group programs, etc.
What it's like
When daily life became overwhelming for Ethan, his struggles with mental health made it difficult to get out of bed and manage things alone. He sought support from Each, seeking to build resilience, self-management, and reflection to guide his path forward.
Areas of support
The ITC supports you to work on a range of different areas of your recovery through structured group programs, including:
Where you'll be staying
Living at the Integrated Therapeutic Community (ITC) is a lot like living in a share-house; you’ll share a house with 1-2 other young people.
Every recovery journey is unique
We acknowledge that your recovery journey is unique, and work with you to offer holistic supports that can meet your unique needs. During your ITC journey we’ll collaborate with yourself, your family and other supports to identify what support is right for you. If you need support beyond our program, we can help with referrals and regular care team meetings to make sure you’re getting what you need.
If the ITC sounds good to you, get in touch with either of our sites and have a chat to our friendly staff!
