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.

Re: Day Hospital or Day Group
Hi @16sundayz. I'm not sure you'll be able to find info on specific groups and places around as we can't share much specifically because of the need for anonymity. But perhaps you could try calling the SANE helpcentre - that may have some ideas.
It may not be exactly what you're looking for, and you may already know about them, but something that came to my mind is a Prevention and Recovery Centre (PARC). They are very supportive and a good step between home and hospital. You can get leave to stay at home (they encourage that especially towards the end of your stay) and they have groups, outings, psychoeducation sessions, people to talk with etc. They're pretty flexible and work with you on what you need too. You're free to come and go, but you do have to work with your worker through that.
It might be something to look into.

Re: Day Hospital or Day Group
Hi @16sundayz, @CheerBear provides some great advice, additionally, do you have a GP or psychologist that you can reach out to in order to find the right place for you?
