• offer enhanced support to stabilise and de-escalate the crisis and reassess needs rapidly;
• help individuals find sustainable solutions to avoid mental health detainment and hospital admission;
• promote independence, self-care, and social routines in the community (e.g., education, employment, leisure);
• facilitate ongoing support from family/Carers and community health providers during their stay; and
• support a return to home within a short period.
