Clinical Care Coordination for Children and Young People
Navigating mental health challenges can be tough—for children, young people, and their families. That’s why Better Connect offers Clinical Care Coordination (CCC) for children and young people aged 5 to 25 years who are experiencing, or at risk of, mental illness.
Whether you’re a parent, carer, or young person seeking help, our team is here to guide you through the process and connect you with the right support in your community.
What To Expect
Our Clinical Care Coordinators are available face-to-face at select Hubs and virtually across other areas. They provide:
Community Connection
Help linking with local mental health and wellbeing services.
Brief intervention and Psychoeducation
Support when local services aren’t available.
Collaboration with families, schools, and other key people in a young person’s life.
Integrated support
For Parents and Carers
If your child needs support, you’ll be asked to provide consent before services begin. A Clinical Care Coordinator will contact you to arrange appointments and work closely with you to support your child’s wellbeing. We’ll also help you explore other services available through Better Connect or in your community.
How to access support
For a referral, please contact Medicare Mental Health on 1800 595 212. They’ll discuss your (or your child’s) needs and connect you with the appropriate support services. For more information, please email betterconnect@each.com.au.
