Horizons is a Tasmanian short-term outreach program, for severe mental health support

The Horizons team provides short-term, outreach support assisting people in building strategies, skills and resources to work towards individual goals for their personal recovery. Individual, client-led support can be provided for up to 26 weeks. The program addresses a gap in psychosocial support services for Tasmanians, as anyone can be referred by their GP or community service.

Horizons is supported by Primary Health Tasmania under the Australian Government’s Primary Health Networks Program and is focused on each participant’s unique mental health experience, responding to their needs and strengths. The program equips participants with skills to manage their mental health issues – even when severe – to lead fulfilling lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Horizons for?

Horizons is for Tasmanians experiencing episodic, severe mental health issues who urgently need psychosocial support. The program supports participants to identify their needs and strengths – empowering them to set goals and supporting them to find and use the tools to achieve them.

What is involved in the program?

Our team are here to help participants create a pathway to mental wellbeing, offering them psychosocial support for up to 26 weeks. The program involves one-on-one sessions with one of our team, as well as access to a range of group sessions.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our team are currently working with participants over the phone (or via virtual platforms such as Zoom). They help participants identify and work towards their own individual goals and recovery. Once the pandemic passes, our team will once again meet with participants in their homes (or a place that suits them).

How long is the program?

The evidence informed short-term program offers support for up to 26 weeks

Does this program need a referral?

Yes, this psychosocial support program is by referral only. GPs, community service organisations, clinical services, allied health professionals, psychiatrists or psychologists can refer people.
