Forensic Mental Health
At Holisticare, we are committed to providing comprehensive Forensic Mental Health Services in Melbourne under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Our goal is to support individuals with mental health conditions who have been involved in the criminal justice system, promoting recovery and reintegration into the community.
What is Forensic Mental Health?
Forensic Mental Health refers to the intersection of mental health care and the criminal justice system. It involves assessing and treating individuals with mental illnesses who have committed offenses or are at risk of offending. Services in this field aim to address criminogenic behaviors and reduce the risk of reoffending, ensuring that individuals receive appropriate care and support.

Comprehensive Assessments: Evaluating mental health needs and criminogenic risks to inform tailored interventions.
Individualized Treatment Plans: Developing strategies that address both mental health conditions and behaviors of concern.
Therapeutic Interventions: Providing evidence-based therapies aimed at symptom management and behavioral change.
Collaboration with Legal and Support Services: Working alongside legal representatives, courts, and community organizations to coordinate care and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
Community Reintegration Support: Assisting individuals in transitioning back into the community with support systems and resources to promote stability and reduce recidivism.
Our team consists of experienced forensic psychologists, mental health nurses, and support coordinators dedicated to delivering compassionate and effective care.
