  • Facilitate smooth transitions from inpatient care to community-based support, ensuring continuity of care and personalized assistance.
  • Collaborate effectively with healthcare professionals, social workers, and other stakeholders involved in patient care.
  • Advocate for the needs of individuals accessing mental health services, promoting their well-being and empowerment.
