headspace - Fremantle
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 8:06PM Fremantle headspace provides free and confidential mental health and wellbeing support, information and services to young people aged 12 - 25 and their families. They offer a range of services such as a youth friendly GP as part of the GP4YP program, youth engagement supports, drug and alcohol withdrawal support, counselling, parent and family supports and linking young people in with other appropriate support services.
Young people might access Fremantle headspace for a whole range of reasons, with some including mental health issues, general physical health, sexual health, family and relationship issues, drugs and alcohol, education and training, sexuality issues and accommodation.
Young people can refer themselves and make an appointment simply by giving Fremantle headspace a call. Alternatively, they receive referrals from family and friends, teachers and GP's; and provided they receive consent from the young person an appointment will then be scheduled with one of their youth friendly workers.
Fremantle headspace is a consortium model which means they partner with a number of other support services to make referrals easier and limit the number of times a young person has to tell their story. The consortium is made up of the Fremantle GP Network, St John of God Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal Network (DAWN), Fremantle CAMHS, Youth Reach South, Quarry Sexual Health for Under 25's, City of Cockburn, City of Melville and the City of Fremantle.
As Australian research shows that 1 in 4 young people will have a mental illness in any given year their focus is on early interventions and prevention. Fremantle headspace seeks to offer young people a youth friendly and accessible service that responds to their needs in a respectful and non-judgmental way.
Also available through Fremantle headspace is eheadspace which is a confidential, free and secure space where a young person or their family can web chat, email or speak on the phone with a qualified youth mental health professional. eheadspace aims to offer flexible mental health support to young people 12 - 25 years of age and their families or friends. eheadspace is not a crisis service.
