Psychosocial Support
HealthWISE offers confidential support for people living with mental health challenges. Our service is non-clinical, which means we focus on practical help rather than medical treatment. If you need short-term, low-intensity support to manage daily life, we can work with you to support your recovery, build confidence, and develop skills so you can live independently and feel connected to your community.
How can HealthWISE assist?
We offer personalised support to:
- Identify your goals for better mental health
- Build on your strengths and skills
- Learn practical skills for everyday life
- Improve independence and wellbeing
- Strengthen social connections
Our goal is to help you work towards what matters most to you.
Support Methods
- One-to-one psychosocial support
- Support to develop vocational goals and broader life skills
- Linkages to health professionals and community services
Service Locations
Available to people aged 16 years and over living in Ipswich and the Southern Downs region.
