Youth Hospital in the Home
For young people aged between 16 to 24 years who are experiencing an acute episode of mental illness and require hospital admission. The Youth Hospital in The Home (Y-HiTH) service provides acute, hospital standard mental health care at home to eligible young people as an alternative to going to or staying in hospital. The service acts as a step between being admitted to hospital and community care. Receiving intensive mental health assessment, treatment and management in your home means you can maintain your daily routines, responsibilities and roles while still accessing the high-level care you need.
