YOUnited launched a NEW additional self-referral pathway
Since October, it is possible for parents of children age 5+ and young people aged 13-17 in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to self-refer into YOUnited for mental health support.
The YOUnited website will allow parents and young people to navigate to information about the self - referral and then submit the respective referral with information about the difficulties children and young people are experiencing and what support they are looking for.
For more information on YOUnited self-referral please see here:
