Are you a young person experiencing psychosis or mental health challenges?
MIFWA’s Early Intervention Recovery Program (EIRP) is for young people aged 16 to 30 years who have been diagnosed with mental health challenges, including first episode of psychosis.
Operating across the Perth Metropolitan area, our EIRP team supports you to re-establish or maintain social, professional and educational networks.
The program is initially for 3 months, but can continue for up to 6 months.

We understand each person’s mental health journey is different, so we tailor our supports around your needs, aspirations, goals and recovery. The EIRP team provides one-on-one support in your own home and local community, working with you to set goals and reconnect with your priorities.

- Assistance to get back into employment or study
