Asylum and Refugee Clinic (ARC)

Our services are available to children and young people up to the age of 18 years old in BNSSG who are experiencing clinically significant symptoms of PTS. Completion of the CRIES-13 questionnaire is essential, as this will determine whether the child or young person has PTS.

We accept referrals from GPs (within BNSSG), school nurses, social workers or other professionals that are supporting the child or young person.

We always see young people in person, mostly at our clinic based in Barton Hill, Bristol (BS5), or another community setting if more accessible.

To make a referral, please use the referral form and CRIES-13 on this page.

When a referral is accepted, we offer an initial assessment with the family or network along with the child or young person. We also, dependant on the age of the child or young person, offer a Young Person’s Voice meeting. Following this, we can then make a treatment plan based on the child or young person’s individual needs.

Treatment plan options are:

• CREATE (Create REcovery After Traumatic Experiences) – an 8 session psychoeducational group
• CREATE (Create REcovery After Traumatic Experiences) psychoeducational individual sessions
• Trauma focused therapy such as eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), or children’s accelerated trauma treatment (CATT)
• Art Psychotherapy - individual or group sessions
• Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy – individual sessions
