Home / Our Services / Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Programs / For Young People
Young people face different challenges. Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teams are here to help if drugs or alcohol are taking over.
We work with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to help them overcome drug and alcohol problems and bring about a sense of wellbeing. There’s no shame, speaking with our team is free of judgement.
Our Clinical Liaison Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Service supports young people who have complex needs and are experiencing social and emotional distress.
We bring cultural understanding and respect to our counselling and mentoring and can also provide support to families and friends.
WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
We offer yarning and a range of support. We help improve family, community and cultural connections and work to create positive life changes.
Our friendly staff will talk to you about how we can best help out.
DO I NEED A REFERRAL?
You don’t need a GP referral. You can self-refer through our website here. If you have limited access to the internet or would prefer to speak to us to request a referral, please phone the Contact Team on 1300 727 957.
We also accept online provider referrals from other health professionals, services and community and government organisations or they can fax referrals to 07 5546 8223.
