THE CAMBRIDGE ACORN PROJECT

REFFERAL FORM – Therapeutic Work

This initial referral is for consultation with a practitioner from the Cambridge Acorn Project to discuss which, if any service, the family would like. Our service works a little differently as we aim to be family-led and for families to design their own package of intervention, based on their needs. We offer a ‘menu’ of different therapeutic interventions and the family, or young person, can choose what best suits their needs. This is a fully voluntary service. Please refer to attached information on the different kinds of interventions we offer:

The family would potentially like to access (please circle all that apply. We can discuss this further at our initial meeting):

1:1 TRAUMA-FOCUSED THERAPEUTIC SERVICE (CHILD)

1:1 TRAUMA-FOCUSED THERAPEUTIC SERVICE (ADULT)

EMPATHY BASED 1:1 THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION (CHILD)
