What do we do at Voix?

2 min. readlast update: 10.17.2023

VoiX Clinic is a youth health services program that provides psychiatric and psychological care with specific emphasis on coaching, mentoring and other measures to forge young people's identity and confidence in the increasingly confusing World (on and off-line). 

We want to engage with young people and all the important people around them, like families and others (if appropriate), to shape their resilient and happier lives. 

Our team is available to help young people manage their distress, anxiety, depression, and other uncertainties they may encounter while negotiating through a turbulent adolescent life. 

Many young people struggle with school and social contact, particularly those with neurodiversity and ADHD. It could be challenging in the best of times. We should be able to help!

Several things we don’t do 

Some areas of youth mental health are not available at Voix. There are services which could provide much more specialised assistance.

  • We do not write court and medicolegal reports (we provide clinical care, which is independent of any other aspects of our patients' circumstances)
  • We do not provide inpatient care - admit to any general or psychiatric hospitals; we work together with many of such institutions and using their excellent outpatient programs (inpatient care has a specific focus and process, which may compliment our community-based approach).
  • We are unable to provide clinical services outside the four days a week and out-of-hours sessions (there is some discretion relating to the times of appointments, but to make the services sustainable we also need to have time to structure our work and time with the families).
  • We are also do not provide specialised autism and educational assessments (there are very specialised services excellently equiped to offer such assistance; we work with neurodiverse patients and engage them in all our activities).
  • We do not prescribe medical cannabis, psychedelics or ketamine and generally try to limit the use of any psychiatric mediaction unless they are required. 
  • We work closely with specialised drug and alcohol services, but do not offer any special assistance to young people engaged in regular substance use
