Independent Patient Rights Advisers (IPRAs) are available to provide advice to people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness and are currently receiving treatment through MSAMHS. IPRAs may also provide advice to nominated support persons, family members, carers and other support people.
Do you have a mental illness? Here you will find information about mental illness in general, as well as the services we provide to you on your journey to recovery.
Are you caring for someone with a mental illness? Here you will find information about the role of carers, what to do if someone you know needs help, as well as resources and links to support you.
Employing people with lived experience of mental illness in peer worker roles to support others brings a tremendous range of benefits. At MSAMHS we have gone a step further to provide great care to every person, every day and support people on their road to recovery. Putting our patients at the heart of everything we do means looking beyond their diagnosis to the communities that support them, engaging those with a lived experience of addictions and mental illness, and creating pathways to recovery that support and enable.
