The Mental Health Step Up/Step Down Service – Joondalup (JMHSS) is a short-term support service for people with a mental illness to prevent hospital admission or support early discharge. We also assist people to transition back into the community after hospital. The offers a 22 bed centre with 24-hour support and a range of individual and group rehabilitation and recovery programs. Clinical supports and treatment are available as required. The service is not a replacement for acute inpatient care but an option that can prevent the need for hospitalisation when people are aware they are becoming unwell.
