How to access support
You can refer yourself to the IAPT Healthy Mind service by calling 024 7667 1090 and speaking to an IAPT administrator at their telephone and referral centre (TaRC) who will register your details on their system and begin the process of arranging an assessment appointment. You can also ask your GP or other health/social care professional to refer you to the service. The referrals team will conduct a brief assessment to make sure the service is able to help you.
If you are already receiving treatment from the IAPT Healthy Mind service, you can discuss with your therapist whether you would benefit from talking to an employment advisor.
