From short stays and specialist behaviour support to everyday assistance, our support services are shaped around what will make a meaningful difference in your life.
There is no single formula for feeling better. During your stay, we can incorporate different forms of support and activities around your interests, needs and goals.
A private space to talk about what has been happening, explore difficult thoughts or emotions and consider practical ways forward.
Time to slow down and pay attention to the areas of life that can influence how you feel, from your routine and rest to connection, confidence and everyday habits.
Practical encouragement around nourishing meals and healthier routines, with a focus on choices that feel realistic and manageable in everyday life.
Movement and activities that get you out of the house, give your day some structure and help you reconnect with interests you enjoy.
Explore thought patterns, goals and beliefs that may be holding you back, while developing strategies that help you approach situations differently.
Guided breathing techniques that can be used as part of relaxation, emotional regulation and creating a greater sense of calm.
Hypnosis may be incorporated where appropriate as part of our broader approach to mindset, relaxation and personal development.
Respite and Short Term Accommodation can provide a change of environment when everyday life feels demanding, routines have become difficult or you simply need some time away with support around you.
At Just Giving Hope Consultancy, respite is informed by extensive experience in adult mental health. We understand that a short stay is about more than having somewhere to go. It is an opportunity to feel safe, reset, reconnect with yourself and spend time doing things that support your mental and emotional wellness.
Your stay can be shaped around what feels helpful for you. That may include quiet time, conversations, movement, activities, learning new strategies or simply having experienced support nearby while you take some pressure off.
Positive Behaviour Support is about understanding what is contributing to behaviour and finding safer, more useful ways to respond.
Identify situations, environments, changes or experiences that may contribute to distress or behaviours of concern.
Develop practical approaches that may help prevent situations from escalating and make difficult moments easier to navigate.
Find techniques the participant and the people around them can use in real situations, rather than relying on strategies that only work on paper.
Look at what the person may be communicating through their behaviour and find clearer ways for needs, choices and concerns to be expressed.
Help the people involved understand what works for the participant so responses can become more predictable and coordinated.
Develop skills and strategies that can help the participant have more choice, confidence and involvement in everyday life.
Behaviour can communicate that something is difficult, overwhelming or not working for the person.
Specialist Positive Behaviour Support looks more closely at what may be contributing to behaviours of concern, including mental health, environment, communication, routines, relationships and other circumstances surrounding the person.
Drawing on extensive experience in complex mental health, behaviour and risk, we take time to understand the broader picture rather than looking at an incident in isolation. We work collaboratively with the participant and the people involved in their support to identify practical strategies that can reduce distress, build skills and create greater consistency.
Positive Behaviour Support can be provided via telehealth across Australia.
Our broader support services are available in Queensland and can be shaped around the assistance, routines, skills and community involvement that matter to each person.
Support at home for people who need regular assistance with everyday life. We can help with routines, personal tasks, household responsibilities and building skills, while respecting how you want to live and the things you would like to do more independently.
Practical assistance with personal routines such as showering, dressing, grooming and other everyday activities. Support is provided privately and respectfully, with your preferences and existing abilities guiding how much assistance you receive.
Help with the practical jobs that keep your home comfortable and manageable, including cleaning, laundry and other routine household tasks. Where appropriate, we can also work alongside you to build confidence doing more of these tasks yourself.
Support to get out, meet people, explore interests and become more involved in your community. This can include everyday outings as well as finding new activities, groups or opportunities that reflect what you genuinely enjoy.
Take part in social, recreational and skill-building activities alongside other people. Activities can create opportunities for connection, confidence and trying something different in a supportive environment.
Getting somewhere should not become the reason you miss out. We can assist with transport arrangements for appointments, activities, community participation and other everyday commitments where this forms part of your support.
Build practical skills you can use in everyday life, from planning routines and preparing meals to communication, organisation, decision-making and navigating the community. We focus on areas that are relevant to your goals and current circumstances.
Support designed around the developmental needs of young children and the people who care for them. The focus is on building skills and strengthening participation in everyday routines, relationships and activities.
Individualised therapeutic support informed by professional social work and mental health experience, with a focus on understanding what is happening for you and finding practical strategies that support meaningful change.
Specialised Disability Accommodation is designed for eligible participants with significant functional impairment or very high support needs who require purpose-designed housing. We can work with participants and their wider support network around their individual needs and living arrangements.
If stress, emotions or everyday life are becoming harder to manage, tell us what’s happening and what you’d like to change. We can help you look at the options and help you decide what feels right for you.
