About us

Alfred Infant, Child & Youth Area Mental Health & Wellbeing Service (ICYAMHWS) is one component of the Department of Mental & Addiction Health at Alfred Health. We are a community-based service providing comprehensive assessment, treatment and case management to infants, children, adolescents and young people up to the age of 25 years of age presenting with behavioural, emotional, psychiatric or developmental difficulties. ICYAMHWS provides clinical services in partnership with a wide range of service providers to achieve the best possible outcomes. Alfred ICYAMHWS is committed to active participation by families and young people in evaluating and improving our services.

Child and Youth (C&Y) Hope

Child & Youth Hope is a program within ICYAMHWS that supports children and young people experiencing suicidal behaviour, thoughts, or are at risk of serious self-harm. Child & Youth Hope team supports individuals and their personal support networks (family, friends and other carers) for up to three months, helping them to identify and build protective factors against suicide. This is achieved through the program's coordinated care approach, which offers psychosocial, youth and family peer, and clinical support, delivered on an assertive outreach basis. There is a particular focus on intervening early to prevent crises, prioritising certain at-risk groups (such as young people identifying as LGBTIQA+, from Cultural or Linguistic Diverse backgrounds, and those presenting with neurodiversity or with a co-existing disability). The support offered is extended to the children and young people's support networks, providing a holistic, systemic approach to both prevention and aftercare intervention. The Child & Youth Hope model of care was co-designed and is underpinned by the vision of providing timely, relatable, consistent and adaptable support; working collaboratively with the young person and their network; building and supporting their connectedness to the community; and, providing supported transitions and pathways out of the service to ongoing supports.

What you'll be doing

Wellbeing workers provide children, young people and their support networks with practical recovery-based assistance alongside the support provided by clinicians, Youth and Family Peer Workers.

The support provided by Wellbeing workers is led by the children, young people and their support networks. Wellbeing workers assist those they are working with to examine the factors leading to the suicidal experience and participate in the development of a comprehensive support plan to address any gaps in support. Wellbeing workers work with clients to implement the strategies developed in collaboration with the clinical, youth and family peer workers, and promote wellbeing by supporting connectedness with the community.
