How We Help
hYEPP was funded by the Commonwealth Government in 2013 and is an early intervention service improving the lives of young people, and their families, who are affected by psychosis. Young people with early psychosis and their families require a holistic approach to their care and this service provides support to young people in every aspect of their lives, such as education, employment and relationships. hYEPP is a lead agency employing mental health clinicians and contracts to other services.
