You and your child will be offered an appointment with one of our mental health practitioners. The appointment will last about 1 hour and will likely take place in school. If you would prefer your appointment not to be in school, we can also see you in one of our clinical bases or at a family hub.
During the first appointment, you will be asked questions and given the chance to talk about the difficulties and concerns you are having. If possible, we will then discuss the most suitable treatment options and agree a plan together of how we can help you feel better. This can involve setting a goal which you would like to work towards.
Your first appointment can feel a little scary but try to remember you are doing the best thing to help yourself begin to feel better.
