Refer the support need
This pathway is for case managers, support coordinators, schools, Child Protection, allied health professionals and other professional referrers. Empower YOUth assesses referrals case by case against the support being requested and our current scope of work.
You do not need to decide whether the participant fits an artificial checklist
If you are unsure, send a short summary or contact the team. Fit may depend on:
- support requested
- scope
- age and programme suitability
- practitioner fit
- geography
- current capacity
- funding
- safety
- practical requirements
