Mental Health Nurse Service - Free for your Patients
Knox Divisions’ MENTAL HEALTH NURSE SERVICE has expanded with the employment of three new nurses, bringing our team up to seven. These highly skilled Mental Health Nurses can support the management of your patients’ mental health needs. The nurses are available to see patients in your clinic, at Knox Community Health Service Wantirna site or at Knox Division’s Consulting Rooms at our new office in Scoresby.
The Knox Youth Access to Allied Psychological Services Program is a newly launched program that specifically targets disadvantaged “at risk” young people and links them in with a General Practitioner for support with their mental health needs. Young people referred to this program are entitled to 6 free (time limited) sessions with a psychologist and the option of a further 6 free sessions if required.
To refer a young person contact the Division on 9764 9898 or download and complete the Y-ATAPS Referral Form and fax to 9764 9828.
Registration is mandatory for all sessions. To register, click on the session title. All registrants are confirmed by telephone at least two days prior to event.
