We will only accept referrals where the young person concerned is aware that the referral is being made. Young people referred will normally be offered an initial assessment appointment to determine what kind of support is going to be most effective. This includes an assessment of relevant risk issues.

If a young person is at immediate risk assistance should be sought from their GP, A&E or relevant mental health crisis service. Referrals can be made via the helpline or completed referral forms can be submitted by fax or post. Referral forms are available to download from the website
