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.
