The service operates an open referral system. Referrals should be made using our standard referral form which can be faxed or posted to the team. They are discussed at the weekly multidisciplinary team meeting and each referrer is informed of the outcome.
Anyone who is concerned about a young person’s mental health can also discuss their concerns directly with a worker on the team.

It is based in the community offering mental health services in a range of settings. The service currently operates from Monday to Friday during the hours of 9.00 am and 5.00 pm. Emerge is a stand-alone CAMHS service which focuses on the specific needs of 16 – 18 year olds with moderate to severe mental health problems. The team will accept routine and urgent referrals.
