HOW MANY SESSIONS CAN I ACCESS?

Answer

Meridian Wellbeing Services uses a Segment of Care model, which is designed to increase client access and cater to your specific needs and goals.

The Segment of Care model begins with a Care Planning Session, during which you and your clinician can discuss your needs and develop a plan for your therapeutic support. Following this initial session, you can access between 4 to 8 sessions. The exact number of sessions will be collaboratively determined with your clinician, usually at the end of the Care Planning Session.

Upon completing a segment of care, you can re-engage by submitting another referral, subject to a maximum of 12 sessions per 12-month period.

Wait time between Segments of Care will vary over time.
