(1-3) A number of hostels provide inreach care from specialist community mental health services for all ages; which can include specific health education programs. These programs can include combined nutritional diet and exercise programs such as "Heart Moves", a program which is currently being delivered at Romily House. This involves a personal trainer working with residents to walk and to undertake physical exercise. Smoking cessation groups will be run in targeted hostels using methods previously used in South Australia. Oral health care will also be funded by the MHC to facilitate GP and dentist participation, and oral health education.
