headspace In-Reach

Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS) community teams provide Gold Coast–wide care and operate across multiple locations, including Proxima, the Robina Health Precinct and the Head to Health Kids site in Nerang, depending on what best meets the needs of the child or young person.

Our multidisciplinary clinical team includes a consultant psychiatrist, clinical nurse consultant, senior social worker and senior psychologist.

We provide consultation liaison and clinical in-reach to assist with access to care at the most suitable level and to strengthen the service pathways between headspace and Gold Coast Health services for young people and their families when moving between mental health services and settings.

Young people aged 12 to 25 years of age identified by Gold Coast mental health service:

• likely to benefit from low to moderate intensity mental health supports through headspace
• or young people currently accessing headspace, with additional needs that may require support to remain with headspace.

The service is specifically designed to support young people who are experiencing challenges when transitioning between low to moderate mental health supports provided at headspace and the tertiary mental health supports provided through Gold Coast Health.

Enquiries from clinicians who are supporting young people currently receiving service from headspace or a Gold Coast mental health service are accepted.

As this is a collaborative partnership with headspace, young people receiving support from headspace In-Reach must be engaged with (or in the process of referral to) headspace to receive support from the In-Reach team.

The headspace website provides further details on how to access headspace services.
