What is Partners in Recovery?
South Eastern Melbourne Partners in Recovery (SEMPIR) is a program that coordinates mental health support services in the South Eastern Melbourne region for people living with severe and persistent mental health conditions.
We aim to make it easier for you to get the support you need by putting your needs first. This is called ‘person centred care.’ We do this by linking you with a range of services and supports to help your recovery. At SEMPIR, we know that mental illness is a community issue, and that it needs a community response. We can help find the care you need in the community that you live.
