Mental Health Integrated Complex Care (MHICC) services offer support for people with severe mental illness and complex needs.
This includes long-term assistance with your physical health care, managing your medication and support for you and your loved ones.
Once you have been offered a MHICC service, you will have a Mental Health Nurse allocated and a Care Coordinator who will assist you to manage your health needs. We can also help with access to one or more of the following professionals: clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and occupational therapists.
MHICC services are part of the Mental Health Stepped Care model which means you can ‘step down’ into less intensive services, if your mental health needs change.
