Shining A Spotlight On Youth Enhanced Services and the Young People They Support

This report summarises findings from an analysis of clinical cases and vignettes presented at the Orygen Connect secondary consult program.

The analysis of 129 cases from 11 YES programs across the country help to provide a national picture of the young people who present to YES teams and the range of supports they receive during the program.

In creating a more detailed picture of young people’s presenting concerns, challenging psychosocial factors, childhood adversity, risk concerns and physical health needs, it highlights the essential support the programs are providing and aims to help to inform decisions about the future of YES.
