Young Adult Clinic

Young Adult Mental Health Service The Young Adult Clinic is an outpatient clinic on a Wednesday at the Dean Clinic in Sandyford . It is a clinic specially catering for the needs of young adults (aged 18 - 25) with mental health problems.

If you need an assessment your GP can refer you and an appointment will then be sent to you for your initial assessment at the clinic by one of the team's doctors and therapists. This assessment is free of charge.

After your assessment is complete, we will help you to develop your own treatment plan either with our team or another service depending on the needs identified at your assessment. If you want to avail of the team's services, we can offer this either via the Young Adult Clinic, the Young Adult (Day) Programme or the Young Adult Inpatient Service .

We provide a range of therapies at the clinic including

Cognitive Behaviour Therapies
Integrative Psychotherapies
Systemic and Family Therapies
specialist psychological therapies such as CBT for Psychosis
Occupational therapies with Vocational & Educational support

We can also provide more specialised assessments if required e.g. neurocognitive assessments and assessments for the early signs of psychosis. Each person attending the clinic will have their own doctor who will review the need or any medical investigations or treatment. You will be under the care of the team's consultant and your treatment will be reviewed regularly by the team. Parents and carers are encouraged to attend part of the medical reviews with the doctor. Our focus is on recovery and linking you in to treatments and programs that will assist you with getting your life back to normal.

The atmosphere of the hospital is very bright, cheerful and friendly. The staff are excellent, uniformly helpful without exception and a credit to the hospital

There is a very good atmosphere at St. Patrick's. Communication is very good between patients and staff and should be maintained on an informal basis. Food is very good and is a very good morale booster for everyone. I would like to thank everyone in St. Patrick's for input and kindness while I have been here

I had 10 unforgettable days with prime quality care and facilities. Most of all, I've met really nice people and hopefully not being wrong made some friends. Good work, keep it up

It was a turning point in my life and a good one. I will always have fond memories of my stay here because the overall feeling was of peace.

Today I'm sad as I leave ye all, but the sadness is one that I like, Because after 8 weeks on the bay, it's time for me to take a hike, thanks to all the nurses and students, to the staff in the kitchen and OT's too, to the lovely ladies who clean the ward, to the doctors where a bond we grew.

The Cleaners kept my room beautifully clean and the Temple Centre was spotless. The staff were so helpful and caring and gave me as much time as I needed. All in all I was very well cared for. Thank you very much

Excellent staff have finally helped me overcome my illness with the correct treatment and also using the recovery psychosis programme which opened my mind to what I suffer from. I have had this for 10 years but now I feel relaxed, free of all fear thanks to the A team. St Pats sets the standard for others to follow.

I do not have a single negative to pass on the time I have spent under the care of the staff of St. Patrick's Hospital other than to say that it varied between very good and exceptional. I came to hospital feeling broken and despairing and leave now feeling renewed and well and looking to the future.

I was most impressed with the care given to my daughter during her stay here. The ambience in the hospital is relaxed and caring. From the cleaners to the nurses, doctors and administrators everybody is on first name terms all working to a common goal of getting people better. Congratulations on a job well done
