Health in Mind's self referral form enables you to access support directly without having to see your local GP or other health professionals.
Here's what you need to know when making your referral.
Who can refer?
We provide courses and therapies to people who are registered with a GP in East Sussex (excluding Brighton and Hove), are over 18 and struggling with stress, anxiety and low mood.
How can I refer?
There are a number of ways to make a referral:
- If you want to speak to someone first about the treatment options available, the quickest way to make a referral without delay is to do this online using the link below.
- If you prefer, you can still be referred by your GP or another health professional. You can ask them to support you with this.
What else do I need to know?
If you are already receiving support from our service or you have already completed a self-referral via a different route, for example with your GP please do not submit another referral form.
What happens when I refer online?
The self referral form has been designed to be easy to understand and gather all the information we need to arrange your first appointment.
Once complete, your referral will be live on our clinical system and a member of our team will review your information.
We wanted to let you know that once you make a referral we aim to be in contact with you within 20 working days to book an appointment if we are the best team to support you at this time. The wait time for first appointments with us is longer than expected currently due to an increased number of referrals to our service. This may feel disappointing and we want to assure you that we are doing what we can to reduce your wait where possible.
Once you submit your referral, using the online form, you will receive confirmation that it has been submitted.
If you don’t hear from Health in Mind within 20 working days, please email or call our admin team who are available Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm, except Bank Holidays so we can check the progress of your referral.
