Linx Outreach supports people who are living with a severe mental illness and who are also at risk of homelessness, as well as people who have an acquired brain injury (ABI).

A severe and enduring mental illness can be complicated by several secondary factors including dual diagnosis, self-neglect, repeated hospital admissions, a chaotic lifestyle and other problems. We assist our clients to minimise these pressures because they can interfere greatly in the recovery process.

Linx Outreach is made up of two programs, Moderate Support and ABI.

Moderate Support
The Moderate Support program designs and delivers tailored support for people who require a high level of assistance to maintain stable housing and achieve their recovery goals.

ABI Program
As well as having an acquired brain injury, clients of this program also experience difficulties related to, for example, physical health, housing and employment. We engage other services to assist clients as they develop skills that help them manage the effects of their injury and live independently in the community.

Mental illness can often cause a person to withdraw from relationships with friends and family. The result is both real and perceived isolation that deflates a person’s sense of self-worth.
Ermha Linx support workers assist clients to construct positive relationships that can promote reintegration into the community.
Linx workers use a client-centred, strengths-based approach to develop an Individual Support Plan (ISP) that focuses on needs, as identified by the client. We know recovery can and does happen when people have a sense of hope and access to the right resources. Part of our outreach work is to introduce our clients to other agencies such as housing, legal and health services, which can make a difference to client’s lives.
