  Are you currently receiving talking therapy from another service or intensive help from a mental health professional?
  
  Back up
  
  Yes, I am working with another mental health professional
  
  Thank you for your interest in Healthy Minds. We suggest not to work with 2 services at once as this can be confusing for you. Please talk to your mental health professional about your difficulties, so that they can help you.

  Thank you for your interest in Healthy Minds.
  
  Following the answers you have given, we feel that Healthy Minds may be the right service for you. We understand that contacting us can be a bit daunting, but you have made your first step on the road to recovery.
  
  What happens next?
  
  Step 1: So we can gather a bit of information about you, please complete the form below to refer yourself to our service, or you can call us on 0300 013 57 27.
  
  Step 2: A member of our administration team will be in contact with you to arrange an appointment. If the time isn’t suitable, please ensure you let us know so that we can arrange you another time and offer that appointment to someone else. Please be aware that it may take some time before you hear from us, because we have quite long waits at the moment.
  
  Step 3: At your appointment you will be asked about your problem and other relevant questions, so we can understand a little bit more about how you are feeling. Then, working with you, a decision will be made about whether we are the best service to help you.
  
  Step 4: If we are able to help you we will add your name to one of our waiting lists for an online intervention, a course or group, or one-to-one therapy. Please be aware that the waits for some of our treatments are quite long, because we have a lot of people needing our services at the moment.
  
  Step 5: You will receive an appointment to start your an online intervention, a course or group, or one-to-one therapy. Please let us know if you are unable to attend, so that we can book you another suitable time, and offer that appointment to someone else.
  
  Currently it may be up to 6 months from when you refer before we can book you in for this initial assessment. The team are working really hard to minimise this wait as much as we can. We hope it will be sooner, but we regularly receive more than 1,000 referrals each month, so demand for us is really high.
  
  I would like to refer myself to the Healthy Minds Service Now.
