What is HASI Plus?
HASI Plus is a statewide high intensity transitional program for people with severe mental illness and significant difficulties managing day to day living. In HASI Plus, participants have access to a lot of flexible supports which are especially designed to help them recover and then transition to a more independent life in the community. HASI Plus is part of a suite of community-based psychosocial programs for adults called the NSW Mental Health Community Living Programs. HASI Plus integrates clinical and intensive psychosocial support that is available up to 16 or 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with stable, community-based accommodation.
