Early Intervention Program

Are you aged 12-25 years and concerned or struggling with your Mental Health or Substance Misuse?

Early Intervention

The Early Intervention Program is a two-stream program supporting young people who are experiencing distress as a result of poor mental health or substance misuse issues. This program works to assist young people in addressing this distress and improving emotional regulation and impulse control through assertive outreach, comprehensive assessment and access to treatment through The Bridge’s on staff psychologist.

This program aims to address the gap where young people are not being supported due to access or complexity issues. To access this program, the young person must not be supported by another mental health or alcohol and drug service.

Referrals are required to be discussed with the EIP Clinical Lead prior to submission. Contact can be made on 03 5831 2390.

Funding for our Early Intervention programs is provided through Murray Primary Health Network and the Australian Government.

The Bridge Youth Service acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which we work: the Yorta Yorta Nations, Taungurung and Wurundjeri people. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend our respects to all Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people that call these lands home. We acknowledge and recognise their enduring connection to this land, its waterways and skies. We affirm that sovereignty was never ceded, and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
