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.
