What happens next

A Psychosocial Support Worker will make contact with the young person or their parent or guardian within a week and arrange to meet them to discuss how CanTeen can help.

The Psychosocial Support Worker will then get back to you to confirm the support we can provide so that this can be integrated into the overall support plan for the young person.

If you have any questions about whether to refer a young person please call us on 0800 CanTeen (226 8336).
