The program focuses on helping individuals recover their identity, self-worth, self-esteem, dignity and dreams.
The program is based in Dandenong, but also has satellite services based at the community health service at Cockatoo and the Kooweerup hospital.
Participants must be 16 years or over with a diagnosed or undiagnosed mental illness and reside in the designated postcodes or catchment areas.
