Refer Someone,
Make Space for Support.
If you work with young adults and are wondering whether Third Space is the right place to send someone, here’s a quick reference.
Who We Serve
Third Space is a good referral if the person you’re supporting:
- Is 18–29 years old and lives in the Central Okanagan
- Could benefit from ongoing, one-on-one counselling
- Is navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, burnout, life transitions or other everyday mental health challenges
Third Space may not be the right referral if the person:
- Is experiencing a mental health emergency - direct them to 9-1-1, the nearest emergency room, or the 9-8-8 Crisis Line instead
- Needs psychiatric care, medication management, or specialized clinical treatment outside a counselling scope
- Is outside the 18–29 age range or outside the Central Okanagan
Still Not sure? Reach out to us and we’re happy to help you figure out the right next step, even if it isn’t Third Space.
How to Refer
Referring someone to Third Space takes 2 minutes. Here is how it works
Most referrals are self-referrals
In most cases, the best next step is to encourage the young adult to complete the Find Your Fit form themselves. This keeps the process simple and puts them in control of reaching out.
