Inpatient programs
Our inpatient programs provide the highest and most
comprehensive standard of treatment and care for people suffering
from psychiatric disorders. The hospital adopts a team approach
involving the cooperation of psychologists, general and psychiatric
nurses, and other allied health professionals such as an art
therapist, divisional therapist and physiotherapist - all working
to return patients as quickly as possible to a rewarding and active
role in their community.
The hospital is committed to assisting people
with a mental illness by:
- Working cooperatively with a patient in
planning treatment and follow up
- Empowering patients to develop the capacities
and strengths needed to live more fully and independently
- Approaching the work of recovery holistically
by engaging and supporting a patient's physical, mental and
emotional well being
Each patient is assessed for their suitability
to a group program using a multidisciplinary approach through
communication with the patient’s psychiatrist and various Allied
Health staff. The work/skills covered in these programs
enables patients to explore in more depth the challenges and
difficulties that arise as recovery moves forward. Relaxation,
exercise and stress management are also offered as an adjunct to
the daily treatment program.
