The Adolescent Dean Clinic SPUH treats young people aged 12 to 17, and services are delivered either in-person or remotely, depending on what best meets the young person’s needs.
Through the clinic, we offer assessment and therapy, tailored to the young person’s needs, for a wide range of mental health difficulties, including:
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- Eating disorders
- Depression
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Psychosis
- Stress-related disorders.
We provide individual and therapeutic group programmes, based on the young person’s needs. These include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Psychology
- Dietetics
- Family Therapy.
Access to inpatient or Homecare services in Willow Grove Adolescent Unit is also available to young people in the Adolescent Dean Clinic SPUH, where appropriate.
A GP referral is needed for young people who are not currently receiving care in SPMHS. Young people in Willow Grove’s inpatient or Homecare services may be referred to the Dean Clinic by their multidisciplinary team.
