Good support continues after discharge.

Questions to discuss with a qualified treatment team when planning continuing care.

Know the next step

Ask your care team who will coordinate follow-up, when the next appointment is, and whom to contact if your needs change.

Make the plan fit your life

Discuss travel, cost, working hours and family involvement with your provider. Let them know what could make attending appointments difficult.

Keep treatment decisions clinical

Discuss medication and treatment changes with a qualified clinician. Community and peer support can complement professional care; they do not replace it.
