Hands off Clare House!
Members at the Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS) who work at Clare House in Hobart are currently facing the prospect of having their service relocated to an office block on Watchorn Street.
The current Clare House site has been a provider of mental health services for over 40 years and is a beautiful building with natural light and garden space that offers a therapeutic environment for children and young people receiving mental health services.
Comparatively, the new location has inadequate space for staff, clinical rooms that are not soundproof, no dedicated consumer parking and does not provide the same welcoming environment for consumers.
Worse yet, consumers and their families have not even been directly consulted about the proposed change!
Why is this important?
This is not just about a building. It is about protecting the dignity, comfort, and wellbeing of some of our most vulnerable community members.
Please sign this petition to tell the government that mental health services deserve better, and that consumers, their families, staff and the community deserve a say.
