- Establishing and maintaining housing arrangements
- Preventing relapse
- Managing stress
- Building capacity for self-advocacy
- Re/engaging in positive and supportive social and family connections
- Connecting with relevant community-based services and resources
Support might be provided be face-to-face, in-home, over the phone or via teleconference to maximise direct support and ensure flexibility.
