Additional Referral Information

Please let us know why you are making this referral, including details of any previous mental health problems. In this section you might like to include some of the following:

• A description of any emotional and wellbeing difficulties the young person might be having.

• How long have these been affecting them.

• What impact have these had on them, and have they had any impact on their family, school/work, or friends?

• Have there been any big family events or illnesses recently?

The more information you include, the better we can decide on how best to support the child or young person.
