John had a serious suicide attempt and presented to an emergency department. He’d stopped taking the medication for his mental illness and was living with delusional thoughts which were creating strong paranoia.
The hospital referred John to the Better Place Australia HOPE Outreach Program. It was there that he met the Better Place Australia practitioner.
“It was clear that John didn’t have a great understanding of his mental illness and how his condition might impact him when he stopped taking his medication,” shared the practitioner.
As part of the program’s method, the practitioner met with John in a local cafe over a coffee and listened to John, allowing him the space and the curiosity as to why the situation occurred.
