What do you need help with: Mental Health
We all have mental health, just like we all have physical health. Mental health is about how we think, feel and act. Sometimes we feel well, and sometimes we don’t.
When our mental health is good, we feel motivated and able to take on challenges and new experiences. But when our mental health is not so good, we can find it much harder to cope and need help.
How to make a referral yourself
To make a referral you will need to download and fill in one or more forms and answer questions about what you need help with. Your answers will give our clinical specialists the essential information they need.
It helps if you can give us as much detailed information as possible, such as:
- how long the difficulties have lasted
- how they affect day-to-day life
- other relevant experiences
You may need to share information from a doctor, nurse, other healthcare professional, or school SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator).
Sending the form back to us
We’d prefer that you email the form back to us at cfhd.devonspa@nhs.net.
