Open Arms Community Services in West Melbourne supports individuals with mental illness and disabilities, meeting each participant’s unique needs to promote a barrier-free life with confidence. Our dedicated team delivers activities and care plans that build trust, achieve goals, and create a positive community atmosphere. We help clients develop skills, coping mechanisms, and symptom management strategies. Some clients start in a difficult state and are reluctant to leave their homes; through our support, they adhere to their medication, gain employment, and engage in the community again.

Our staff deeply understands how individuals with mental illness perceive their surroundings and react to their points of view, which many might misunderstand or interpret negatively.
