Following this appointment, we will discuss what type of support you may require. If support is agreed, then we will plan treatment with you.
Types of treatment
This could include one of the following;
- Group Programmes with Parents and Carers
- Therapeutic Work with Families
- Group Programmes for Children
- Group Programmes for Young People
- Individual Therapy Sessions
- Referral to other services
We might assess that other services, such as the Children & Young Peoples Service (CYPS), may meet your needs better. If this is the case, we will discuss the most suitable options with you.
Want to make a referral?
If you are a parent or carer for a child, or a young person (aged 16 and over), you can make a self-referral to this service.
