Secondary Care – Transitions House
Mental health professionals often recommend step-down care for young people who have completed at least 12 weeks (although often substantially longer) of primary residential treatment.
Many of our young people transfer to our secondary care programs at Transitions House.
The Wave secondary care programs offer small, structured steps towards independent living. Surrounded by the familiarity of The Wave treatment team and with the support of their mental health team, our teenagers and young adults can take the next steps on their recovery journey.
Young people in Transitions programs follow a structured treatment plan designed to meet their unique needs. They enjoy the feeling of achievement as they are able to move through the treatment pathway, gaining stability and knowledge along the way. Treatment plans can include:
- weekly attendance
- goal setting
- one-to-one therapy sessions
- food and body groups
- meal support
- cooking classes
- budgeting
- shopping assistance
- personal tutors.
Transitions House builds confidence, develops skills and provides a safe and secure foundation for life. When our young people are ready to move on, we continue to provide support through our online services. Continuation of care is crucial, which is why we provide psychiatric and psychotherapy sessions online, together with prescription-writing services in most countries.
