The Relapse Prevention and Discharge Program (RP&D) in Murray Region, Victoria aims to support each client before and after discharge from our programs.

This program was created in collaboration with APMHA’s consumer lead and clinical workforce.

Pilot Program Regions

Murray PHN and South Western Sydney PHN

About the Service

The RP&D pilot program has been developed to support people:

  • Who have exited our programs early, providing active follow up for people who have not engaged as planned, to address any barriers they have experienced or identify any further support they may need
  • Who are currently receiving mental health services by incorporating the Wellness and Discharge Planning Toolkit into counselling consultations, to ensure a wellness approach as part of therapy and support preparation for discharge from the service. This also includes post discharge follow up by our RP&D Lead.

How does the RP&D program work?

  1. You will be introduced to the Wellness & Discharge Support Program by your current mental health clinician through your counselling time with APMHA.
  2. OR you may get a call from our Relapse Prevention & Discharge Lead if you have chosen to not continue with your counselling.
  3. Our Relapse Prevention & Discharge Lead will contact you before discharge from your mental health counsellor to arrange a post discharge appointment.
