EMERGE Leeds: Complex Emotional Needs Service
We see people who may, as a result of complex trauma and adverse life experiences,
have developed ways of coping and surviving that can cause them harm and distress, and we provide a range of different services to meet the needs of people at different stages of their personal development.
These are:
- Care coordination, split into two pathways, for young people and over 25s
- Group work programmes
- Case consultation
The information below is for you if you’re a professional working with someone with complex emotional needs. It is here to help you make sure that your service user gets the most from our services.
Making a referral to our services and group programmes
Care coordination for young adults (18-25)
Please download the Single Point of Access referral form for referrals for Care Coordination for 18-25 year olds. Referrals will be reviewed by the relevant Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) in the first instance and forwarded on to Emerge Leeds if it is felt we would be best placed to offer an initial assessment based on our Young Adult pathway criteria.
Internal Referrals from other LYPFT Services can be made via Care Director and should be discussed with the Emerge Leeds Clinical Team Manager. Please email the Emerge Referrals inbox.
Colleagues from Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) looking to discuss a potential referral for a young person should contact the Emerge Leeds Clinical Team Manager. Please email the Emerge Referrals inbox.
Care coordination for over 25s
To make a referral, please download and complete our referral form for care co-ordination for over 25s and email the Emerge Referrals inbox.
