Perth Inner City Youth Service
About this member: PICYS is committed to working with young people in a non-judgmental and holistic way that fosters a belief in empowerment, integrity and collaboration, and which provides a safe and secure environment.
The primary client group includes young people aged 16 to 25 who are homeless or at risk of being homeless and who wish to access support. The agency accepts people regardless of race, culture, religion, disability, family composition, sexuality or gender diversity. The service also works with young people’s partners, children and family. As PICYS offers flexibility within service provision, clients outside the age range will be considered. PICYS also offers an open-ended service, which means clients may access the service for as long as they choose. Therefore, some clients might be outside the age range stated above.
Historically PICYS has worked with “hard to reach” clients. These are often the clients that have not been accepted by other services, as they are deemed too difficult to manage. PICYS therefore targets young people who have long histories of homelessness, who will require ongoing support over the long-term, and who have a number of presenting, complex issues such as mental health, drug use, criminal behaviour, prostitution, and young people with diverse sexuality and/or gender.
