selectability

selectability exists to improve the mental wellbeing of regional Queenslanders and contribute to suicide prevention. With the head office in Townsville, our service extends from Cairns to Rockhampton, with outlets in Ingham, Palm Island, Charters Towers, Mount Isa and Mackay. Our recovery-oriented services include: Individual supports: through our connected care approach we to support our consumers to build personal skills, develop relationships and improve their wellbeing. Support coordination: we work with our consumers to reduce complexities in the support environment and help them to develop plans to meet personal goals. Group supports: we support our consumers to make friends, learn new skills, build capacity and strengthen connections within their community in social and peer environments. Clubhouses: the Clubhouse approach supports members to build confidence, make friends and learn the skills to access education and employment opportunities in a non-clinical environment. Clinical services: we provide GP, psychology and counselling services from our Mental Wellbeing Practices to empower individuals to improve their mental wellbeing. Family and carer support: we offer group and one-on-one sessions to support those caring for a loved one living with a mental illness. Suicide prevention: selectability implements the suicide prevention networks in Townsville and the Mackay region. These groups are dedicated to developing outcome driven strategies for the prevention of suicide across the regions. selectability was created in March 2017, following the merger of Supported Options in Lifestyle and Access Services (SOLAS) and Mental Illness Fellowship North Queensland (MIFNQ).
