This includes making connections to a range of community-based services, or supporting consumers to determine if they require more assertive acute care.

The YPSW provides direct peer support to people at risk of suicide presenting to the service. They utilise their lived experience of suicidal crisis to promote social connection, and reduce isolation and loneliness. Through purposeful story tell they use their their lived experience to facilitate hope, role-modelling recovery and build relationships that maintain a trauma informed consumer focus.

The Youth Peer Support provides input into policy and contribute to processes that improve the mental health experiences of consumers.
