Are you a young person experiencing psychosis or mental health challenges?
MIFWA’s Early Intervention Recovery Program (EIRP) is for young people aged 16 to 30 years who have been diagnosed with mental health challenges, including first episode of psychosis.
Operating across the Perth Metropolitan area, our EIRP team supports you to re-establish or maintain social, professional and educational networks.
The program is initially for 3 months, but can continue for up to 6 months.
