Our team are highly skilled adolescent health care specialists

The adolescent developmental phase between 12-25 is one of self-discovery, independence building and rapid emotional growth. It can be a difficult time for both the young person and their family unit. The BCH youth team recognise this and offer a range of physical health, social health, and emotional health supports. We do this through a supportive intake process that allows time to explore the needs of the young person within their current support structure.

We are family friendly but also recognise the importance of young people becoming independent and therefore accept referral from the young person, family member, schools, and other professionals. Our services are youth friendly, confidential, and free.
