About Individual Recovery Support Townsville

The Individual Recovery Support program provides services to support people transitioning back into the community upon release from a correctional facility.

The program provides one-to-one support for up to 12 months post-release, including: 

  • three months of high intensity support, working with people on their most immediate priorities to support their transition back into the community
  • nine months of lower intensity support focusing on the person’s medium to longer term wellbeing goals.

Who is this for?

The Individual Recovery Support program can be accessed by people who: 

  • are aged 18 years and over 
  • are experiencing a severe mental health challenge
  • are accessing or have recently accessed (within the last three months) mental health clinical care through Prison Mental Health Services (PMHS)
  • are referred by the PMHS
  • are in the Townsville region.

We prioritise working with people who are ineligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

What to expect

When entering the program, our team will work together with the person, their carers, and Prison Mental Health Services clinicians to complete a recovery needs assessment. This will support the development of an Individual Recovery Plan, which might include:

  • improving and maintaining independent daily living skills 
  • gaining employment 
  • establishing and maintaining housing arrangements 
  • preventing relapse 
  • managing stress 
  • encouraging self-advocacy 
  • engaging in positive and supportive social and family connections 
  • connecting with relevant community-based services and resources.

We offer flexible, accessible support, and can meet people face-to-face, in their home, over the phone or via teleconference.
