About the Organisation

Since 1997, Bridges Health & Community Care Ltd. (BHCC) has assisted hundreds of people to move beyond the isolation and stigma of mental illness and addictions to a meaningful existence with a sense of purpose. The key foci on this journey of recovery are:

• Fostering the belief that recovery is possible and cultivating optimism;
• Strengths and resilience rather than illness and the possibility of failure;
• Building personal capacity, self-reliance, social and community connections and mainstream integration; and
• Celebrating small steps rather than expecting over-night transformations.

The Haven is a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Service for people with moderate to severe mental illness, funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and other State and Federal Government funding sources.
