Youth Outreach Recovery Support (YORS) is a Mental Health Community Support Service (MHCSS) for young people aged 16-25 who are experiencing mental health symptoms or significant psychological distress. As part of the YORS program, young people will receive short to medium term flexible outreach wellbeing support to help them to better manage their mental health, develop practical life skills for independent living and self-care, engage in community life, access other health and social support services they need, and make the journey towards recovery and the life they want. YORS provides support to young people pre and post entry to a Youth Rehabilitation Recovery (YRR) service and as an alternative to a YRR placement.
The aim of YORS is to help young people be at the centre of decision-making to manage their own mental health better, improve their health and wellbeing, and minimise long-term disability and develop practical life skills for independent living and self-care, engage in community life and access other health and social support services.
Individuals: Young people can self-refer to YORS. With the young person’s consent, referrals can also be made by family members or carers, schools and youth services. If you would like to be considered for the YORS program complete our intake form. [INDIVIDUAL REFERRAL MENTAL HEALTH]
