Residential Services

Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes provide a safe place to live for adults with complex mental health concerns. Our team of highly trained support workers provide residents with 24/7 assistance in a comfortable, shared home.

We support young people aged 16 to 21 years living with complex mental health concerns with short to longer-term accommodation. This supervised accommodation provides 24/7 assistance with day-to-day living, whilst supporting the young person in their recovery journey. Support within these units can be offered for up to 12 months, a time in which the young person can develop the skills needed to lead a fulfilling future.

Stride currently provides two Youth Residential Rehabilitation services in Queensland, located in Brisbane. These services operate under a closed referral pathway, in partnership with the state health departments only.

Supervised short to longer-term accommodation for young people (aged 12-18) needing assistance and support with day to day living who have severe or complex mental health concerns and are in the care of the Department of Children, Youth Justice and Multicultural Affairs.

Services operate from various locations across Queensland, including regional areas. These services operate under a closed referral pathway, only referrals from Child Safety Placement Support Services are taken for these residences.

Our Transitional Supported Living services offer accommodation and support for those who are living with complex mental health concerns receiving support from the Local Health District Community Mental Health Teams. Strides transitional services provide intense mental health support with a strong focus on independent skill building and preparation for independent living. 

The Step Up service is for those in the community who require short-term residential support with intensive clinical treatment and psychosocial support to prevent the risk of further decline or relapse, which, in the absence of this option may lead to admission to an acute mental health inpatient unit. 

The Step Down program is for those who no longer require acute impatient level clinical intervention and treatment and aims to empower people to take control of their mental health with prevention and recovery-focused care, allowing them to return to their home and community sooner.

Referrals are welcome from a range of sources including: Adult Mental Health Services, Home Assessment and Acute Response Team, Acute Adult Mental Health Inpatient Units, Mental Health, Justice Health, Alcohol and Drugs Services. Referrals for our Adult SUSD service are managed through the ACT Mental Health Link.
