Description

Young people involved with EPI have access to the Bach respite facility, located near the North Shore.  This is a home-like environment where young people can stay overnight i.e. planned 'social' respite, for a period of time, as negotiated with your case manager who will discuss with the EPI Manager.  In addition there is an opportunity to attend a day stay if you are not wanting overnight, though there is limited availability for this.  Transport to and from the day stay is available as required.
