Second Story Program

What is Second Story?

Second Story provides a structured psychosocial rehabilitation day program, for people who are in recovery from the disabling effects of mental illness, in order to live as independently as possible in the community. Participants are individually supported to identify and achieve their rehabilitation goals:

By developing and further developing a range of social, living and pre-vocational skills; and
By being involved in personal development activities.

What it means to join?

Participants are matched with a keyworker who provides ongoing support on a one-to-one basis.

Participants together with a keyworker identify goals and plan strategies for how these goals are to be achieved. This is developed into an individual program plan which is reviewed on a regular basis.

There are opportunities for participants to be involved in Second Story’s decision making processes.

What is offered?

The program is primarily centre based and operates from the second floor of 211 Chapel Street, Prahran. It offers group and one-to-one activities focusing on skill development in the following areas:

Outreach

The Community Access Program assists participants to become involved in community opportunities such as volunteer work, further education or recreational activities.

The Home Based Outreach Support worker can provide information on accommodation services and issues.

Who can be involved?

People who:

Have a psychiatric disability and;
Are between the ages of 16 and 65 and;
Live within the Cities of Stonnington, Port Phillip and Glen Eira
