Youth Severe and Complex Mental Illness
Targeted support to those aged 12-25 years
Early identification & treatment
Youth Clinical Care and Coordination (Youth Triple C) services provide targeted support to young people aged 12-25 years old, with complex needs and/or emerging mental health issues. These services support early identification and integrated treatment in the community, as well as increased access to responsive community-based treatment options for those at-risk of severe mental illness. Locating Youth Triple C services within primary care has the advantage of being less stigmatising, more accessible and recovery-focused.
Program objectives
The primary goals of Youth Triple C is to:
- improve access to adequate level of primary mental health care intervention to maximise recovery & prevent escalation; and
- provide wrap-around coordinated care for young people with complex needs.
This service is specifically designed to support young people who fit the above description, are deemed too complex for other primary services (inc. headspace), and who may not meet the criteria for state-based tertiary mental health services.
