About this Program
YouThrive (formerly Youth Community Living Support Service) is an NSW Government‐funded program that provides community‐based psychosocial support for young people aged 15–24 who have a serious mental illness and are at risk of functional disability. The program aims to support recovery, reduce chronic disability, and prevent unnecessary hospitalisation through tailored services that help young people stay connected to family and community, engage in education and employment, maintain stable housing, and experience continuity of care.
