Barnet Integrated Clinical Service (BICS)
We help children, adolescents and their families that are experiencing a range of emotional and mental health problems. This can include:
- loss and bereavement
- trauma focused interventions with children and young people
- divorce and separation
- difficulties resulting from family breakdown
- depression
- anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, early onset of psychosis, eating disorders
- self-harming behaviour
- difficulties arising from conditions such as autism, aspergers and learning disability
- behavioural difficulties, including ADHD and parenting difficulties
How to refer your child to BICS
While parents cannot refer children directly to the BICS team, referrals can be made via school, which may include a conversation with the SENCO, a family resilience worker, or via your GP.
