Access : Youth Services
- Referrals to residential care need to come from a CDHB Child and Adolescent Mental Health Case Manager who is prepared to stay involved for the duration of the client’s involvement with Stepping Stone. All services require a phone call followed by a written referral prior to admission.
- Residential referrals also require that a recent psychiatric assessment and crisis plan be provided as part of the referral information. This assists us in delivering the very best care to young people who come to stay with us.
- All Community Support services require that a young person have a completed Needs Assessment.
- Respite Care services further require that a consent form be signed by the young person, parents (where possible) and Case Manager.
- Family Support-COPMI Team can currently receive referrals or inquiries from any source. Primarily we work with organisations such as Whakatata House, CYF, schools, etc.
