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.
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).
