This service takes a therapeutic approach, supporting individuals to learn new skills and maintain the abilities needed for community living and promoting social inclusion. The care is provided in a warm, supportive environment that aims to maximise each person’s potential, increase their self-esteem, promote independence, and improve their overall quality of life.

Aderyn takes a recovery-informed approach, empowering individuals through active programmes that instil hope and opportunity. The service uses the Recovery Star tool, which supports individuals with diverse short-term and long-term mental health needs.

The therapeutic environment promotes patient recovery, safety, and positive interpersonal relationships. We support symptom reduction through medication management and/or ongoing therapy, increased self-management of symptoms and reintegration into the community by developing social connections, employment, education, and leisure activities.
