The Urgent Mental Health Care Centre (UMHCC) provides high-engagement support in a calm, “lounge room-like” space to help with your urgent mental health needs.
The UMHCC offers an alternative to presenting at hospital Emergency Departments for a mental health crisis.
A welcoming place for people experiencing a mental health crisis
They work with you to understand what will help right now, and then if needed, connect you with the right support for later.
Using a combination of peer-led recovery and clinical support, they provide evidence-based, caring, safe and inclusive urgent mental health support.
