About supported housing
The purpose of the supported housing is to provide housing related and other support, in order to enable people with mental health issues to maximise and sustain their independence in the community and also support them to achieve their rehabilitation and recovery goals.
A multi-agency approach is used to deliver short-term (up to 2 years), support services with Broadacres staff working closely with the Community Mental Health Team, Consultants, General Practitioners and other support providers.
