A Mental Health Crisis Stabilisation Facility is expected to open later this year at The Prince Charles Hospital, providing immediate short-term care for those in need.
This new space will feature a comfortable environment for individuals in crisis and provide access to a multidisciplinary team, inclusive of the lived experience workforce. 🏠
As a social worker in the short stay unit, Jade will help to provide care for patients with complex mental health issues and support for their families and carers by using therapeutic interventions within a recovery and trauma informed framework.
"It’s such a privilege to work with people who trust you to walk alongside them and support them in their journey, and to see the resiliency in those that I work with every day, it is extremely motivating and rewarding," Jade said.
TPCH is looking for a social worker to join the soon to open facility team. If this sounds like you, then apply here: bit.ly/4ahopsY

Will those suffering from suicidal ideation be able to go to this facility rather than the ED?
Have Social Workers employed by QLD Health previously had clinical input on treatment plans and management of consumers who for example may be experiencing Domestic and Family Violence? I have never seen any written evidence of support given directly for Domestic Violence, in any of the three hospitals I have been admitted to in QLD, spanning 6 mental health admissions in total, nor a discharge plan that might outline input or suggestions relating directly to plans for continuity of care for Domestic Violence support from any Social Workers, doctor's or specialists involved in my Mental Health care? I also have never seen any Domestic Violence Liaison Officers, that are meant to be available to support DV victims in all QLD hospitals, in any of my admissions either. Sadly, unless a patient reports concerns to Police, and many are unwilling for various reasons, it is hard to provide proof after Mental Health Admissions, that the reasons for admission are directly attributed to Domestic Violence abuse!
It would be great to see Metro North considering to employ Accredited Rehabilitation Counsellors in the unit as well!
And peer support in the model of care?? What’s the discharge/continuity of care plan/strategy
This is so needed, thank you
Jade is a lovely caring and committed Social Worker for Mental Health . Any patient in her care should feel privileged they have a person like her looking after them.
So needed. More are needed. I hope there are follow up procedures in place.... Great work Jade.

Legend!
The Easter Bunny isn’t the only one who should be eating carrots this Easter. 🥕
TPCH clinical dietitian John can attest that carrots are a great source of beta carotene, fibre, vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants, which is great news for your eyes and bowels!
"Orange carrots get their bright colour from beta carotene, an antioxidant that your body converts into vitamin A," he said.
"Carotenoids, polyphenols, and vitamins in carrots have been demonstrated to have anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, and immune-boosting qualities."
So this weekend, hop on down to the shops and pick up some carrots for you, your family, and the Easter Bunny! 🐇
