About this project
In collaboration with Transforming Trauma Victoria and the Women’s Recovery Network, this project is developing and testing trauma-informed practice tools for use within a Hospital in the Home (HiTH) program. HiTH models of care provide acute mental health support within a consumer’s home, often reducing the length of stay in hospital or replacing the need for a hospital admission. This project focuses on a program for women experiencing complex and ongoing mental health challenges which are often related to, or exacerbated by, experiences of trauma, violence and/or structural disadvantage. The pilot phase includes HiTH programs in one regional area and one metropolitan area. The research project will identify lessons from the two local sites that could be embedded into other areas.
