Child and Youth Mental Health Service

Child and Youth Mental Health Service specialises in helping infants, children, and young people up to the age of 18 who have complex mental health needs. We work collaboratively and in a recovery-oriented way with infants, children and young people and their families. This means we recognise and help build on individual and family strengths for better health and wellbeing. By working together, we support children and young people to get back on track to reach their optimal mental health.
