Ruah Inreach Local Teams

What are Ruah Inreach Local Service Teams?

Ruah Inreach supports people to meet their psychosocial and mental health goals, improve their quality of life, and enhance their recovery journey by providing tailor-made interventions relevant to the client's goals.

The core work is based on a relationship developed through regular one to one contact with an individual, and their family where relevant. Service delivery is community based and the work occurs in the individual/family's own home environment, community setting or location of choice.

Who do the Local Teams work assist?

Ruah Inreach provides a service for individuals between the ages of 18 to 65 years who live with a diagnosed mental health disorder or are experiencing early episode psychosis, who have medical/clinical support, live in the Ruah Inreach designated areas and require psychosocial support on a voluntary basis.
