Young Adult Mental Health Services | St Vincent's Private Hospital Sydney

Uspace is Australia’s first private mental health service, targeted to the needs of young adults aged 16 to 30.

Within a purpose-built mental health facility with 20 single rooms, day services and on-site consulting suites, our mission is to promote the recovery and psychological wellbeing of young adults with severe and emerging mental health problems.

Our program delivery extends beyond psychiatric consultations and psychological group therapy. We provide person-centred care and cutting-edge interventions in a safe, therapeutic and engaging environment that has been specifically designed by award winning architects and interior designers.

At Uspace, we believe it is vital to intervene early. A young person’s experience of mental illness often occurs during a very demanding developmental stage and sometimes, in stressful social circumstances. We work with young adults to understand and navigate their experience as well as ensure they can continue to engage with friends and family, and with educational and employment opportunities.

We specialise is a variety of mental health concerns, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, mood and psychotic disorders and ADHD. Read more about specific services in our News Section.
