Day Hospital or Day Group

Does anyone know of a therapeutic community in Melbourne that I can stay overnight like once a week or just go there for a month during the day and have activities, group and individual counselling and chill time and then I'm free to go, not a psych ward though.

Dear 16Sundayz,

May I ask exactly what kind of therapeutic group it is that you are after? Is it, for example, a drug and alcohol related issue?

There are a few different fellowships around which can offer you peer support, which you can attend meetings of, and meet up weekly - or more often or less often - with like-minded people. Otherwise you could perhaps be looking at places where short term live-in accommodation is part of the therapy.

Also, I'm not in Melbourne, but I did used to live there. Plus, if some sort of recovery fellowship is what you are after, then I can certainly help answer some questions and provide you with information about those.

All the best with your search. Please let me know if you have more questions. I hope that helped at least a little bit. Take care and remember, Beyond Blue is here and 'open' to you as at least some sort of 'therapeutic community, each and every single day! Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for your reply. xo
