The Recovery and Wellness Program (RWP) is a psychosocial support program that provides psychoeducation and practical interventions to support individuals who reside in boarding houses, supported accommodations, hostels and crisis accommodations. The program offers recovery based support that will increase an individual’s capacity for self-management of lifestyle, and to support individuals in developing their own skills and resources to strengthen their community connections and increase positive relationships. The RWP works in partnership with the Metro North and Metro South Hospital and Health Services. All program participants are referred by clinicians through Queensland Health’s Mental Health Services.

Peer Based Group Support (PBGS) provides therapeutic, support and skill-building groups lead by Peers with a Lived Experience of their own mental health journey. All groups are facilitated by Peers who use the knowledge they teach in their everyday lives. All our groups are trauma informed, strength based and client centred. We focus on meeting the client where they are at and walking alongside them providing hope, empathy and encouragement.

If you are a client of RFQ’s Hospital to Home Program or Footprints Recovery and Wellness Program we would love to invite you to join any of the groups on the right.

Thank you for the opportunity. I appreciate the professionalism, formal interview process and training. It has been a very supportive, friendly and rewarding experience. I was telling my Mum recently I wake up happier and more motivated coming to Footprints than when I was going to my paid job.
