About Step Up / Step Down Albany

Albany Step-Up / Step-Down is a free, safe and welcoming service to help reduce distress and support the wellbeing of people living in the Great Southern Region region.

There are 6 on site and we offer 24-hour support.

While it isn’t a replacement for a hospital stay, it’s an option that can help people avoid going to hospital when they’re becoming unwell.

Our range of group and individual programs support people to:

  • build confidence and skills
  • develop a sense of meaning and purpose
  • identify personal goals, and
  • develop a wellbeing plan.

Who is this for?

You can refer yourself to the Albany  Step-Up / Step-Down Service or ask your GP or health professional to refer you if:

  • you’re aged 16 and over (if you’re 16-17, you may need consent from an adult), and
  • your primary challenge is mental health-related, and
  • you’re willing to be involved in group settings and to take part in programs offered at the service, and
  • you’re not currently experiencing homelessness.

What to expect

We provide support when you need it most.

An experienced mental health worker will support you to develop strategies and skills that help you to:

  • identify your strengths
  • build healthy coping skills
  • set and work towards goals to support your mental health
  • strengthen your support networks, and
  • stay safe.

Our teams include staff with their own lived experience of mental health challenges and/or distress.
