"Full citizenship for all people living with mental health issues in Australian society."
The Youth Residential Recovery Service (YRR) provides a 7 day a week service for young people who are becoming unwell or are still recovering from an acute mental illness and need a period of additional support to complement their clinical treatment. This service provides a safe and shared living environment for young people and aims to encourage positive growth and development for young people with mental health illnesses to improve their quality of life and broaden their opportunities.
