Riverland
headspace was officially launched yesterday and RYT members stepped up to help the proceedings
Riverland
headspace will offer young people aged 12-25
a youth specific service incorporating youth mental health and drug and
alcohol services. Riverland
headspace will provide
a single entry point for young people to access information, resources
and services and will be centrally located in the town of Berri with
satellite locations in all of the other major Riverland towns Renmark,
Waikerie, Loxton and Barmera. Young people will have access to
Riverland
headspace through face to face contact or via the web, phone or SMS. Riverland
headspace will
focus on early intervention strategies through linkages with local
schools (via school counsellors and chaplains), TAFE, General Practice
and existing dedicated youth programs and youth mental health programs
and drug and alcohol related programs.
