If you can't get to us, we can come to you

YHOP is an assertive outreach service that engages and connects at-risk young people aged 12 to 25 years to individualised housing, mental health, education, training, employment and crisis supports in Hume and Moreland.

We work with young people for up to 6-months to overcome barriers and provide tailored support based on the outcomes, goals and aspirations of each young person.

What we do

• Work with young people aged 12 - 25 years for up to 26-weeks
• Actively listen to help you identify your goals and create an individualised mentoring and support plan
• Work closely with General Practitioners, Mental Health Services, Housing Support, Centrelink, Education and Employment Services (and heaps more) to connect you to everything you might need
• Link you up with the right supporting people or organisations to ensure long-term support
• Treat you fairly, respectfully and with cultural sensitivity at all times
• Keep you informed and involved in whatever we do for and with you in whatever way works best (phone, video calls, email or even texting!)
