Youth residential rehabilitation

Take the time to recover from mental illness and get on with life.

This supported living service is for young people aged 16-25 who are experiencing mental illness (such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia or trauma). You can temporarily live in a private room in a shared house with other young people (for up to 12 months) and receive support and coaching.

Service details

During your stay you can discover your strengths and learn or re-learn the skills and confidence you need for independent living. You can get support for managing your mental illness and achieve your recovery goals like:

• building better relationships and social connections
• getting involved in sport and recreation
• overcoming alcohol and drug issues
• exploring education, training and work options
• finding safe and secure housing

We also develop a range of support groups as required like:

• Young person’s hearing voices
• Health and wellbeing
• Mindfulness
• Fitness and exercise
• Cooking and nutrition
• Music and art
• Work readiness

Youth Advisory Committee

This service and the support offered is co-designed through the work of our Cohealth Youth Advisory Committee. You will be invited to be a part of the Youth Advisory Committee during your stay. This helps make sure the service includes feedback and suggestions from young people.
