Living a fulfilling life filled with meaning, purpose, and happiness is a fundamental human aspiration. However, for individuals living with psychosocial disabilities, achieving this goal can be a significant challenge. At Amity Mental Wellness, we specialise in transforming the lives of individuals living with psychosocial disabilities through our comprehensive and personalised approach to mental health support.
Our approach to mental health support is infused with empathy, compassion, and understanding. We recognize that each individual's journey is unique, and our services are designed to honor that uniqueness. We believe in the social model of recovery, which emphasises community engagement, skill development, and building meaningful relationships. Our services extend beyond clinical support, focusing on social participation and interaction.
_A Social Model of Recovery_
We believe that recovery is not just about treating symptoms but about empowering individuals to take control of their lives. Our approach is centered around the social model of recovery, which recognizes that recovery is a personal and unique process. We work closely with our clients to identify their strengths, goals, and aspirations and develop personalised support plans that cater to their individual needs.
_Personal Touch in Every Interaction_
At Amity Mental Wellness, we understand the importance of personal touch in every interaction. Our Support and Peer Support Workers are trained to provide compassionate and empathetic support, acknowledging the individual's experiences and perspectives. We involve family and friends in the treatment and support process, providing them with education, training, and resources to support their loved ones.
