Transcript of Mental Health in the Home: A New Approach in a Pandemic - Western NSW Local Health District

Due to the COVID response in Bathurst, the inpatient unit was relocated. A new model of care was quickly developed to service our cohort of consumers in their homes instead of at clinical settings.

Through VC technologies, our consumers have had access to staff, including psychiatrists and allied health.

We also offer a group program through VC, which is a proven cornerstone of the recovery process.

We’ve had overwhelmingly positive feedback.
