This important presentation explores life after clinically operated residential rehabilitation services for people living with mental illness in Australia.

A/Prof Parker will share findings from follow-up interviews and research conducted 12–18 months post-discharge, highlighting what supports have helped (or not), and the ongoing psychosocial needs of participants. Both qualitative and quantitative data will be presented.

Dr Brasier will offer commentary from a lived experience lens, adding valuable perspective to the discussion.

This webinar will be particularly beneficial for psychosocial support providers, rehabilitation clinicians, and those working in mental health recovery services.
