Care Subsidies And Funds

The costs of dealing with a mental health condition from therapy, medication, hospitalisation etc can be expensive. Therefore, it is important to understand the available financial and legal support schemes to help ease the financial burden and help you plan ahead.

Find out more about the help you and your loved ones can get.

Legal Support

There may come a time when your loved one no longer has the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves, due to health conditions or other circumstances – where they lose their mental capacity and are no longer able to tell you what they want. It is therefore important to understand their care preferences and make arrangements early.
