The Seek Out Support (SOS) program is designed to provide patients, with low to moderate risk of suicide or self-harm, access to short-term therapeutic support. It is not suitable for high risk patients.
Those eligible for this service are put in contact with a provider within 3 working days from referral date. This service can support people aged 14 years and above and interventions can include family members and/or carers of the person being referred. Family or friends considered at risk in the aftermath of suicide are also eligible for the service.
A GP (or in some cases psychiatrist or paediatrician) referral is needed to access this service.
