Referring a young person to Youth Focus
We accept referrals from GPs and other services, which can be submitted through our Request an Appointment Form.
It is important to discuss the referral with the young person and ensure they have given consent to the referral and to being contacted by Youth Focus. Once a referral is received, a member of our team will contact the young person directly to discuss what support they need. Young people or external services can also get in touch directly with us by phone.
Who we support
Our services support young people aged 12 to 25 who are experiencing mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety, and depression. We focus on early intervention, and our goal is to help young people develop skills and strategies to manage their mental health, before challenges become more complex. While our service offerings may vary slightly by location depending on the needs of each community, our commitment to providing timely, safe and accessible services remains the same across all sites.
