About Spectrum
Spectrum is a service in Victoria that supports the treatment of people who have severe or borderline personality disorder who are being treated by Victorian State Government funded Specialist Mental Health Services (AMHS, CAMHS or other state-wide services). There is a particular emphasis on those who are at risk from serious self-harm or suicide, who have particularly complex needs. Because Spectrum's treatment services are designed to dovetail into AMHS and CAMHS treatment approaches, people with this diagnosis whose current treatment is from the primary health sector such as general practice, Commonwealth funded private mental health clinicians or non-clinical mental health services such as PDRS's or Community Health Centres. must first be accepted for treatment within a Specialist Mental Health Service (AMHS or CAMHS) receive further treatment at Spectrum.Spectrum provides a range of programs to support AMHS and CAMHS mental health clinicians and their clients. Some Spectrum programs can be provided at AMHS or CAMHS community clinics. Other programs take place at our premises in East Ringwood.
