Referral Process
EaseUp accepts referrals from anybody – a young person may refer themselves or others can refer on a young person’s behalf (with their consent).
Services are free and available to people aged between 12 and 24 years who reside in West Auckland, Central Auckland, North Shore/Rodney, and South Waikato.
We now accept self-referrals online at: https://easeup.org.nz/get-support
Description
Young people are supported to holistically identify what goals they wish to set, and who they would like to support them in this process e.g. whānau, friends, other services etc. Individual values and beliefs are respected deeply when building each programme. Plans are therefore tailored with the understanding that every young person has different needs.
EaseUp wishes to build self-efficacy by offering short term brief interventions with the aim of supporting the young person and their whānau to manage their own wellbeing.
Our free service provides:
- Assessment and consultation
- Individual and group options
- Both clinical and peer support
- Mobile services delivered at a location of the young person/whānau’s choice
- Practical advice and support to make sustainable changes to promote recovery
- Drop in for support at our centres from Monday - Friday between 8am - 5pm
