What does PIR mean in HEALTHCARE

Partners In Recovery (PIR) is a program that provides access to services and supports for people with severe and persistent mental illness and complex needs in Australia. The program works to coordinate the support networks of these patients, providing accessible care tailored to their individual needs.

PIR empowers patients to take charge of their lives and ensures that they have the right care available when they need it. It also promotes recovery by supporting individuals in addressing physical health problems, engaging in meaningful activities, building relationships, living independently, accessing employment opportunities, and achieving greater social inclusion.

PIR offers a wide range of services including community-based case management; therapeutic interventions such as psychological therapies; advocacy; vocational consultations; mediation between informal support systems such as family members or roommates; group activities; peer support groups; education programs; activity-based therapies like art therapy or music therapy; housing assistance programs; legal advice services; and more.
