How we help

Our Integrated Therapeutic Community (ITC) program supports young people aged 16–25 to build confidence, independence and life skills while working on their mental health. You’ll live in the program for 12 months at one of our homes in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs (Box Hill South or Wantirna South), alongside other young people. You’ll be part of a supportive community and take part in a mix of individual and group supports, all shaped around what matters to you. Through the program, you’ll be supported to:

  • build confidence and social skills through group activities and daily life with others
  • develop a personalised recovery plan based on your goals
  • learn practical skills for everyday living
  • grow your independence, confidence and leadership skills
