Referral

As a part of our advice and support work, sometimes we don’t have all the answers.  This is when referrals are very important in our work. 

Just because someone is LGB or T does not mean that they will only need support around LGBT issues.  They might need support around housing, racism, faith/belief, bullying, mental/physical/sexual health, domestic abuse, child protection and every other issue that all young people can face.

We make and receive referrals to and from a wide range of organisations so we can make sure that you have a more people available to support you.  When we make a referral, we ask you what support you are looking for, what information to share with others and how we should support you. 

In the past, we have made referrals to social workers, council (local authority) youth services, housing agencies, mental health services and many more.  We work closely with other organisations to make sure that everyone has the skills, knowledge and support to enhance their service response for LGBT young people.
