Commonwealth Psychosocial Support Program (CPSP)

Some children and young people need more support than a GP or short-term counselling can offer, but do not meet the threshold for hospital-based or specialist mental health services. That’s where CPSP can make a difference.

The Accoras Commonwealth Psychosocial Support Program (CPSP) provides free, outreach-based mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people aged 7 to 17 years living in the Logan and Beaudesert region.

We work alongside young people and their families to build skills, strengthen relationships and support everyday functioning, helping young people feel safe, supported and better able to manage life’s challenges.

CPSP delivers clinical and non-clinical psychosocial support for children and young people experiencing complex mental health and psychosocial challenges.

The program focuses on early support and intervention, helping young people develop practical skills, improve emotional regulation, strengthen resilience and reconnect with their family, school and community.

CPSP fills a critical service gap for young people whose needs are beyond primary care, but who do not require hospital-based or tertiary mental health services.

The program is funded by the Brisbane South Primary Health Network.

CPSP supports:

• Children and young people aged 7–17 years living in the Logan and Beaudesert region

• Young people experiencing complex mental health or psychosocial challenges

• Families supporting a child or young person who may be struggling

• Young people needing additional support to stay connected to school, family and community

Whether support is short-term or more ongoing, our focus is always on building confidence, connection and wellbeing.

CPSP provides flexible, outreach-based support tailored to each young person’s needs. Support may include:

• Emotional regulation and coping strategies

• Building confidence, resilience and life skills

• Strengthening connections with family, peers and community

• Support to re-engage with school and community life

• Help navigating the mental health and support service system

Our team includes qualified mental health professionals who offer a coordinated mix of therapeutic and practical support, ensuring young people and families receive the right support at the right time.

We meet young people where they feel most comfortable, which may include:

• At home

• At school

• In the community

Support is delivered in a way that fits around the young person’s life, goals and circumstances.

• Be aged 7–17 years
