Young Adults Team

The Young Adults Team (YAT) is an interdisciplinary team providing clinical support to young adults with complex needs.

We use a person-centred and capacity-building approach, with the young adult at the centre of all decisions.

YAT supports individuals across many disability services in Dublin, South Kildare and West Wicklow, as well as some young adults attending college.

You do not need to attend a Kare service to access YAT.
