About the Role

The Monash Adult Mental Health Program Hospital Outreach Post-suicidal Engagement (HOPE) initiative provides psycho-social support for people who are identified as having presented with a suicidal or self-harm attempt, or suicidal or intentional self-harm ideation. The initiative aims to provide follow-up care and support for people who traditionally would not have received such intervention immediately after hospital discharge, with broader referral pathways and tailored psychosocial support. The aim of the initiative is to prevent avoidable suicide attempts and reduce the number of completed suicides by providing targeted psychosocial support services to a cohort of people in an assertive manner in the community for up to 3 months from the time of discharge. 

The Psychosocial support role provides non-clinical care and practical support to individuals for up to 12 weeks following a suicide attempt. The role works under the direction of the HOPE team leader, together with other clinical staff, to support the development, implementation and delivery of a psychosocial support service for consumers as part of the HOPE program.
