- Assess and escalate any crisis/urgent referrals to the appropriate crisis mental health and addiction services
- Formulate an agreed plan with the person and their key supports, which identifies options for further assistance/follow up including what to do in a potential crisis
- Works collaboratively alongside the child and adolescent mental health teams and local service providers to access the most appropriate service/support for the person based on their requirements.
- Liaise with referrers, including local GPs and community networks/NGO providers in the region to ensure people get appropriate, timely and person centred-care and feedback to them if there are any issues regarding the quality of referrals
