We provide risk assessment and management for young people who are experiencing a mental health crisis. We will continue to support young people, along with their families, for up to 72 hours, working with them to create a crisis plan.
Currently, we're only be able to accept referrals from mental health professionals.
Our long-term goal is that people will be able to self-refer. However, to make sure these new services are safe and meet the needs of young people, it's important that we don't rush things and continually check that we're getting things right.
We are finalising exactly how these teams will work, including what the referral criteria will be, what types of support will be offered and other important considerations to make sure the teams run smoothly.
