What we do
Our core belief is that people are not defined by their experience of illness. Embodying the Gold Coast Health philosophy of Always Care, the Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit will provide a therapeutic environment which conveys hope, optimism, and a belief in recovery to empower an individual to live a meaningful and connected life. Recovery goes beyond the individual and extends to consumers, their family, and the wider community.
Who can access this service
Consumers may have a diagnosis of a major mental disorder such as schizophrenia, related psychosis and mood disorders, alongside complex presentations including substance use disorders: a history of trauma: maladaptive patterns of behaviour, cognition, and clinically significant deficits in psychosocial functioning. The Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit inpatient service is available by referral to all consumers over 18 years of age.
Through the Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit philosophy of care, consumer aspirations will be nurtured within a culture and language of hope and optimism, ensuring people feel valued, important, welcome, and safe. Our expert and specialist team will communicate positive expectations focusing on strengths and personal responsibility, as well as achievement of rehabilitation goals. This will result in the promotion of autonomy, self-determination and collaboratively working towards independent living.
