While high-risk crisis situations may not occur regularly in your counselling practice, when they do occur, knowing how to refer a client effectively can make a critical difference. This training will equip counsellors with the knowledge and confidence to identify when a referral is necessary and how to connect clients with the right crisis services. By understanding the role of acute teams, the referral process, and key considerations like privacy and ongoing client support, you will be better prepared to navigate these challenging moments with professionalism and care.

A brief outline:

• Situations that make referral necessary

• How to find your local acute team
• How to contact your local acute team
