Integrated Practice Unit - Complex Youth Mental Health Services
Services for young people (16-25yrs) experiencing/or at risk of experiencing severe/complex mental illness are available through Sonder’s Emerge program in Edinburgh North, Onkaparinga and Marion and through Centacare’s Thrive program in Port Adelaide. These services are specifically designed to support young people who fit the above description, are deemed too complex for other primary services including headspace, and who do not meet the criteria for state-based tertiary mental health services. Adelaide PHN commissions the IPU as part of a suite of mental health services.
