Service Description
Dar Victoria is a community-based residential service offering specialized services for thirteen adult males. This service supports individuals struggling with mental health difficulties who do not require inpatient hospitalization but face challenges in managing daily life independently. Many may be transitioning from homelessness. At Dar Victoria, we offer around-the-clock support to help residents maintain a high level of independence. Our residential home fosters a positive environment that encourages social interaction, focusing on emotional well-being and community engagement. We also aim to empower residents by helping them learn or re-learn essential life skills to integrate fully into society and reach their maximum potential.

“In the realm of mental health, it is crucial to recognize and celebrate not only significant achievements like gaining employment or learning new skills, but also small, everyday accomplishments. Acts of kindness, showing respect, and thinking of others are meaningful actions. The journey in mental health recovery is not always swift, but pride in even the smallest achievements can have a profound impact on our residents.” Ms Lara Abela, Home Coordinator
