The increase of Youth Mental health both internationally and locally has led the Department of Mental Health and Addictions of the Melegnano and Martesana Territorial Health Hospital, located in the southeast of the Milan area, to initiate an organizational and training process to revisit the care access for young people aged 14 to 24. The objective is to innovate the care pathway by optimizing diagnostic, care, and rehabilitative processes, while enhancing cross-departmental skills. The training program, which lasted one year and was led by a tutor, focused on analyzing organizational aspects, user needs, and existing constraints. The model called the "Gabbiano J" has been developed, offering a first access to services and consultation for psychiatric and addiction-related issues in a non-institutionalized setting aimed at early intervention. Its effectiveness is limited by scarce resources and funding, and it requires coordination between healthcare and social services. Continuous staff training and post-implementation outcome evaluation are also crucial.
