The Venture – June 2018

Young Adult Mental
Health Service
In its revolutionary tradition,
St Vincent’s Private Hospital
Sydney was the first not-
for-profit to offer a young
adult mental health service in
Australia. The mission-driven
organisation established a
service for 16 to 30 year olds
who wanted and needed to
be treated for mental health
problems such as anxiety,
depression, and psychosis.

The Unit known as Uspace
was established six years
ago and offers a three-

week program, as well

as day programs.

“This was an area of need in

our community,” Aguilera said.

“We receive requests from

all over the country. And just

like our other services in the

hospital, we’re committed

to researching and applying

new models of care for this

particular community.”

For the mental health service,

St Vincent’s Private Hospital

Sydney works with affiliates

like Head Space, the Brain

and Mind Research Institute

to undertake research

into the latest trends and

research in mental health.

SVPHS is a teaching hospital,

and Aguilera is looking

forward to translating more

of the research outcomes

into practice for the

benefit of our patients.

What’s Next?

Aguilera and St Vincent’s

Private Hospital Sydney’s

goals for the future are

all about the provision

of high standards of

patient centred care.
