How is this service different from the Youth Residential Recovery service?
Youth Outreach Recovery Support (YORS) will complement the existing Youth Residential Recovery (YRR) service by providing an outreach support option to eligible young people.
This support will be offered before or after a YRR bed-based placement. This includes providing young people eligible for YORS with some access to the YRR group programs and activities. Referrals to YORS will not be required to be reviewed by a selection panel, like they are for YRR.
