recovery focused SERVICES
Recovery focused services supports people with a mental illness on their personal journey to mental well-being.
This looks different for every person. Most people who are diagnosed with a mental illness recover, however it can be difficult to predict how long that will take and what that will look like for different people.
Recovery is not the same as a cure. It means a person is able to create and live a
meaningful life with or without mental health issues.
Deniliquin has specific Mental Health recovery programs such as those delivered by Wellways and the MLHD Recovery Unit in Wagga. These programs are voluntary and come at no cost to the person.

digital and online resources
There are many benefits to using online resources. Not only is it free and can be
accessed from the safety and comfort of a person’s home or personal space,
but it also provides access anywhere, anytime.
Many services offer access to counselling or someone to talk to, but importantly also educates and
provides reliable information. Understanding what is happening for us and what we
can do about it, can reduce fear, isolation and stigma preventing help-seeking.
These resources provide links to crisis support, interactive treatment programs,counselling support and useful APPS.
