FMHSS is a Government-funded program dedicated to enhancing mental well-being for children, adolescents, and their families.
FMHSS offers prompt support to young individuals and children experiencing or at risk of developing mental health issues
This program aims to provide support in the following areas:
Comprehensive and Ongoing Early Intervention:
This includes recognizing and evaluating specific needs, delivering hands-on aid and support within the home environment, connecting with other support services, and participating in therapeutic group activities.
Brief Immediate Help for Families:
This encompasses evaluating needs, offering information or directing to other resources, and providing limited support as necessary.
Outreach and Education within the Community: This involves arranging and engaging in community gatherings, and conducting general group work within the community. These actions aim to spread mental health awareness and foster community development.
Any family with children currently experiencing or at risk of developing mental health conditions should reach out to access FMHSS. Highest priority is given to:
• vulnerable children
• young people and their families including those from Indigenous or culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
• children and families in contact with the child protection system
• and young people transitioning from out-of-home care.
Breakthru will accept referrals for children and young people from any source, including self-referrals and other medical practitioners.
