Western Highlands Network is committed to promoting high quality, consumer responsive and culturally sensitive services for consumers. Consumers with mental illness can and do recover. Planning for and managing potential crises in a way that is least disruptive to you and your family is an important part of recovery. It is vital that a plan be made prior to an actual crisis occurring.
