Youth Hospital in the Home (Y-HiTH)
For young people aged 16 to 24 who are experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and require hospital admission. Y-HiTH provides acute, hospital-standard mental health care at home to eligible young people, as an alternative to going to or staying in hospital. It acts as a step between hospital admission and community care, so you can keep your daily routines, responsibilities and roles while still accessing high-level care.
