About the Role
About Neami National
Neami National is a community mental health service supporting people living with mental illness to improve their health, live independently and pursue a life based on their own strengths, values and goals.
We have been providing mental health support for over 30 years. We were founded on an alliance between professionals, individuals and their families. Collaborative recovery remains at the heart of who we are today.
About your new role
Peer Support Workers are integral members of the team and draw on their lived experience of recovery from mental health to instill confidence and hope in others about the journey of recovery. You must have a lived experience of your own mental illness and a rich understanding of your own processes of recovery. You must be willing to purposefully use your own story to help others further their own understanding of recovery.
Working in collaboration with the local Hospital amp; Health Service Transition from Prison Mental Health Team, the Individual Recovery Support Transition from Correctional Facilities Program is designed to offer a range of non-clinical psychosocial wraparound supports to individuals 18 years and over experiencing a severe mental illness who are currently in an adult correctional facility preparing for release back into the community.
