For referrers and municipalities

When we are a fit

Spira Centrum is an outpatient provider of behavioural therapy, communication-focused therapy and family therapy. We are generally a fit when:

• individual treatment is needed before participation in a group is realistic
• behaviour and communication need to be addressed together
• the family system has to be part of the approach
• language or cultural context affects whether treatment connects
• a child is at home because of a waiting list and cannot afford to stall

We are not a fit for crisis placement, secure youth care, diagnostic assessment or medication management. In those cases we refer back or help think through the right route.

Referral route

A referral can be made directly by you, or by the parents citing your name. We confirm receipt within a few working days and schedule an intake.

After the intake we let you know whether we are a fit and what the expected waiting time is. If we are not a fit, we say so, with a brief explanation.

Quality and accountability

We are building our quality system along HKZ principles and work on a risk-based basis. That includes:

• structured documentation and record keeping
• justified choice of methods
• periodic evaluation of goals and outcomes
• a fixed improvement cycle
• a privacy policy and processing register under the GDPR
• a complaints procedure

The full documentation is available on request for contracting and assessment.

Working with schools

A large part of our work takes place at school. We align with teachers and learning support staff, connect to existing support structures, and work towards transitions: from individual to group, and from specialist to mainstream.
