BounceBack assists young people aged 12–25 who are experiencing severe and complex mental health difficulties which require a flexible and medium-term service within a primary care setting.
Why is this service needed?
The service provides case management, care coordination and psychological therapy to young people and their families. The BounceBack team provides tailored support and care which includes family and peer support.
These services are provided by a multi-disciplinary team including mental health clinicians, psychiatry, family and peer workers.
