In response to the COVID 19 crisis Warranggal Dhiyan is now taking on clients through our new youth specific service designed to support the mental health and wellbeing of youth who may have been impacted and have ongoing issues. The youth service is available for vulnerable Indigenous youth aged 12 – 15 and targets youth who have mental health concerns, behavioural problems or youth disengaged with school. Support provided through the service includes case management, youth group and youth engagement activities.
Case Management
The service supports youth to identify mental health related issues, behavioural concerns and lack of engagement at school. Youth clients will be supported through intensive case management to address and work through any identified issues. Clients will be given information and advice and will have access to specialist support services including assessments (Psychological & cognitive) and counselling, through our referral process.
Youth Group
Our youth group occurs once a week during school time. The youth participate in a range of positive self reflecting activities that build self esteem, confidence and resilience. The group is supervised peer led group that works with program staff to co-design youth focused programs, activities & community events for youth.
Youth Engagement Activities
Activities will be delivered to provide the youth with positive reinforcement and encourage youth to stay engaged with Warranggal Dhiyan. The youth engagement activities have a focus on fostering positive relationships and social interactions in a safe and culturally responsive environment. Activities include community outings, cultural activities and life skills development.
