The Outreach Team has the capacity to visit young people within the community ie homes, schools, colleges etc with a view to building a relationship and assisting the young person to access Brook clinic in the future. The Outreach Team can also book appointments in Brook clinic, this allows the young person to have an appointment with someone that they know, and they wouldn’t need to wait in the waiting room. Emma and Lisa would be happy to meet clients outside, or at the back door if necessary. It may also be beneficial on some occasions for the Outreach Team to attend joint visits with other professionals. To refer to the Outreach Team, please email [email protected].
