Youth and Young Adult Mental Health Services

Navigating the teenage years and early adulthood can be difficult, with physical, emotional, and social changes often contributing to mental health challenges. Many young people face issues such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or even self-harm. Whether you’re a concerned parent or a young adult seeking help, finding the right support early is critical for better outcomes.

At Ramsay Mental Health, we offer a wide range of youth and young adult mental health services designed for teenagers (aged 14 and above) and young adults in their early 20s. Our compassionate care team is here to help young people and their families navigate these challenges and work toward positive mental health.

What Is Youth and Young Adult Mental Health?

Youth mental health refers to the psychological, emotional, and social well-being of teenagers, while young adult mental health focuses on those in their early 20s. This stage of life can be particularly vulnerable to mental health issues and addressing them early can prevent long-term effects.

Our Mental Health Services for Youth and Young Adults

Ramsay Mental Health offers comprehensive services tailored to the unique needs of young people, including:

• Inpatient Programs
  For severe mental health challenges, our inpatient programs provide 24/7 support in a structured environment. These programs help young people manage their mental health in a safe, therapeutic setting.
• Day Programs
  Our day programs are perfect for young people who need more support than weekly therapy but do not require overnight care. These programs focus on group therapy, life skills, and peer support, helping participants build resilience while returning home each evening.
• Outpatient Consultations
  Our outpatient services offer regular therapy sessions with mental health professionals. This may include appointments with psychiatrists, who are credentialed to admit patients to Ramsay Mental Health facilities for more intensive care if necessary. Outpatient care helps young people develop coping strategies and manage their mental health on an ongoing basis.
• Psychology Services
  Through Ramsay Psychology, we provide individual therapy sessions with psychologists who specialise in youth mental health. This is ideal for young people who may benefit from one-on-one support outside of a hospital setting.
