Crisis preparation and early intervention
It is often frightening and quite overwhelming to watch a young person you care about struggle. Often, families only seek assistance when they have already reached a critical stage. Our Crisis resources are here to offer support sooner, so you don’t have to wait until crisis hits.
The challenge families face
Youth mental health struggles, especially for young people with psychosocial disability, often creep in slowly. Parents, carers, and kin may notice changes but aren’t sure what they mean, or what to do next. This uncertainty can leave families feeling helpless, isolated, and alone.
How we can help
RiR is led by people with lived experience, so we know the difference early support can make.
Our resources are designed to guide you step by step:
- Easy-to-use checklists to recognise early signs
- Pre-crisis planning kits so you feel prepared, not panicked
- Practical resources created by peers who’ve been there
- Supportive peer connections that remind you, you’re not alone
Why it matters
Families, carers, and kin deserve guidance they can trust. By acting early, you can reduce the risk of crisis, strengthen your young person’s resilience, and feel more confident in supporting their journey. At RiR, we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
