The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Community Support Project (the Project) is a new initiative specially developed by the Social Welfare Department and the Hospital Authority to provide early identification and early intervention services to children and adolescents with mental health problems (e.g. depressed mood, anxiety).

The primary service targets of the Project are children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 presenting mild to moderate mental health problems (e.g. depressed mood, anxiety).

Five Project Teams have been established to provide services to the public of five different clusters. They are:

Psycho-educational Activities

-	Increase public awareness of the early signs of emotional problems

Consultation Services

-	Provide advisory and consultation services on mental health problems to social workers, school personnel, and other youth workers

If you worry that a child / an adolescent is exhibiting signs of emotional problems, you may refer the child / adolescent concerned to us for follow-up services by sending us the completed Referral Form via fax / email.  Prior discussion with the project team is also welcomed.
