We provide comprehensive and caring mental health services and support for adolescents and young people up to the age of 25 years, as well as their families and support networks, who are experiencing challenges with their mental health.
Typically, in your first appointment, you will meet with two clinicians to help us develop a greater understanding of your mental health concerns and to determine the most appropriate next steps. You can expect some feedback at the end of the meeting and an agreed plan which may include more detailed assessment sessions, ongoing treatment with our services or referral to a more appropriate service. If you are continuing with our services, an Individual Recovery Plan will be developed collaboratively with you and your family/support network, identifying areas of concern and the range of interventions agreed upon to support the identified recovery goals. We will regularly review progress with you.
A combination of the following interventions may be used to support you and your family towards your agreed recovery goals:
- Clinical case management, including liaison with other involved services
- Family therapies
- Individual therapies
- Group based therapies
- Parent therapies
- Psychiatrist review
- Group based therapies
- Family/Carer Peer support
- Cultural support for young Aboriginal people and their family/carer
