Description
Peer Support is a community based service which provides support, education, information and advocacy, to a person who has, or may be developing a major mental illness or addiction.
The service is youth focused and can be done in a place where the youth and their whānau feel most comfortable. Peer Support works closely with or iCAMHs clinicians who support with assessment and goal and wellness planning.
We expect the child/adolescent's GP to be informed and involved as the primary medical caregiver, even if they did not make the original referral.
We do not accept any urgent or high risk referrals to the Te Manu Toroa Team. These need to be directed to the Crisis Team 0800 800 508.
