(i) prevents a wide range of crisis situations including homelessness;
(ii) supports Clients to stay safe, including their mental and physical wellbeing, and better manage their use of substances and complex needs;
(iii) builds resilience, in part by taking an asset-based approach to personal development that enables employment and future independent living;
(iv) actively supports healthy living and well-being;
(v) actively promotes self-care and avoids hospital or accommodation-based care or use of the Criminal Justice System; and
(vi) proactively supports Clients to regain independence, maximising their capacity to live independently, and to move on with specialist support to prevent future crises.
