Eligibility

Refer to FRMP objectives and eligibility criteria:

• are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness
• are aged 16 to 25 years
• have consented to and are ready to engage in the specified intervention
• have a Case Plan which is aligned with FRMP objectives

Guidelines

Support workers are responsible for:

• Assisting the young person/family to arrange the initial appointment with the private practitioner. Where possible, subsequent appointments can be made by the young person themselves.
• Supporting the young person to attend therapeutic sessions. Cancelling or rescheduling appointments with 24 hrs notice avoids the young person losing one of the 10 sessions granted.
• Maintaining contact with private practitioners throughout the intervention. This will ensure that both parties are working together to support the young person to achieve their goals.
• Notifying both FRMP and the private practitioner if they are no longer working with the young person or if the young person has disengaged from FRMP funded sessions.

Application Process & Form

Ensure that the young person meets FRMP eligibility criteria.

Contact private therapists listed in the FRMP Private Therapist Register to find an appropriate match for the young person. The following details should be considered:

• Therapist availability
• Therapist location
• Therapist experience and expertise to support young person’s needs

Use the FRMP Therapeutic Application Form to apply for brokerage on the young person’s behalf.

Inform the young person of the requirement to complete FRMP Pre and Post Therapeutic Interventions Evaluation Forms and when required, support the young person to do so.

FRMP staff are available to assist Support Workers to complete application forms. Please do not hesitate to contact our team if you have any questions or require any support.
