Mental Health Minister Roger Cook has announced two new initiatives to deliver better recovery opportunities for people experiencing mental health and alcohol and other drug issues.
Both initiatives are a first for Western Australia in line with the McGowan Government’s ongoing commitment to provide more wraparound care in hospitals and the community.
In the first initiative, Active Recovery Teams (ART) are being established in ten metropolitan and regional locations.
