How to get help
How to get help
A member of your medial team will discuss a referral with you. If you agree to a referral to our service we will see you and make an assessment of you needs.
This assessment will involve you talking to a member of the team about your situation. The meeting will take place privately. Our aim is to work in partnership with you to find ways to help.
Professionals can contact us via the local hospital switch board.
