About this Program

Youth Community Living Support Services (YCLSS) is an NSW政府资助的计划，提供为期有限的,基于社区的心理社会支持给年龄15-24岁、患有严重精神疾病的年轻人。它旨在帮助面临因精神健康问题导致功能残疾风险的个人。YCLSS在五个新南威尔士州地点开展服务，并与当地卫生区合作提供协同护理。

该计划的目标是支持个人恢复、降低慢性残疾风险、减少住院。YCLSS帮助年轻人保持与社区的联系，参与教育和工作，管理他们的心理健康，并获得稳定住房。同时，它支持家庭了解并协助亲人恢复。

恢复工作者在引导参与者通过关键的发展领域如社交技能、领导力和韧性方面不可或缺。他们帮助构建长期恢复的自然支持网络，确保个人拥有保持独立和在社区繁荣所需的工具和联系。

About the opportunity

Are you passionate about supporting young people through mental health challenges? As a Recovery Worker, you’ll play a key role in helping young individuals aged 15-24 reclaim their identities, build resilience, and take control of their futures.

In this role, you’ll work closely with participants, their families, and care teams to develop tailored recovery plans that focus on independence, self-determination, and meaningful life goals.

This is your chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people, empowering them to thrive in their communities. If you’re ready to guide, inspire, and walk alongside young people on their recovery journey, we want to hear from you!
