About the Team
The Service Model for AMYOS encompasses intensive, outreach-based and longer-term community mental health treatment underpinned by reflective practice and a well-connected team. AMYOS teams work with high risk adolescents with severe and complex mental health presentations who have difficulty engaging in clinic-based services, their families and other stakeholders to achieve positive treatment outcomes.
AMYOS teams are part of the integrated continuum of care for adolescents aged 13-18 years requiring mental health treatment in CHQ. AMYOS is a multidisciplinary team, who provide ongoing recovery-oriented assessment and assertive treatment and care through intensive and flexible approaches (such as mobile interventions on an outreach basis in a community or residential setting) to engage young people, their families and other stakeholders.
AMYOS works within a collaborative partnership model with other community service providers, including other health care providers, education, child safety, housing, police, and youth justice services. A range of individual, family, and group-based assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation programs are offered, with the aim to treat mental illness, reduce emotional distress, and promote function within the community.
