Referral enquiries and suitability discussions

If you are considering support for a young person, contact us to discuss the nature of the enquiry and which programme may be relevant. Our programme descriptions provide a starting point, not referral criteria or a guarantee of suitability.

For an initial enquiry, describe the broad support needed without sending sensitive personal records. Ask our team how information should be shared before providing detailed case material.

Partnership and collaborative working

Young people’s needs can span home, education, health and community life. We welcome conversations about how organisations might work together around those needs, with attention to clear responsibilities and the young person’s perspective.

Tell us about your organisation, the purpose of the proposed collaboration and what you would like to discuss. Any partnership arrangements need to be agreed directly.

Residential placement enquiries

Our website describes transitional residential support for young people returning from incarceration, alongside supported education and residential care for marginalised young people with cognitive and learning needs.

Enquire about the relevant programme to discuss needs, suitability and current provision. The programme descriptions do not confirm available places or placement arrangements.

Education and supervised student placement enquiries

Education providers, students and professionals can ask about the Behavioural Health Institute’s fields of study and discuss enquiries relating to placements or supervised learning.

Include your institution, course and learning objectives. Course requirements, placement availability and supervision arrangements need individual confirmation.
