Day admissions - Mental Health
Our day programs are evidenced-based and can provide continuity of care and support after inpatient hospital admission or as an alternative to those who do not require inpatient admission.
The programs have been designed to provide support and the skills needed for patients to stay well. View our list of day programs and find out how we can best manager your mental health condition.
