Therapy Near Me – Mental Health Support After Hospital Discharge: Guide for Patients and Carers
Therapy Near Me has developed a free Australian patient and carer guide focused on the transition from mental health hospital care to GP and community follow-up.
It explains what to organise in the first few days, what to bring to a GP appointment, medication and discharge-summary questions, Medicare Mental Health Treatment Plans, carer involvement and when urgent reassessment is required.
Would the appropriate education, publications or member-resources team be willing to review it for possible inclusion in relevant patient-information or general-practice resources? The guide clearly states that it is general education and does not replace hospital instructions, GP care, psychiatric care or emergency services.
