The In-mind approach
We try and get a good, early, understanding of the difficulties you've been experiencing, and for how long, so that we can match you with the right person from the start.
If you are looking for support for your child, please complete this form with them where possible. If they are 13 and over they can complete this form themselves. We often find that this gives us the best picture of what they would like support with.

A little about your safety
Sometimes, we can feel so desperate about how our difficulties make us feel, and the impact that they have on our lives, that we can lose a sense of hope for the future, or a sense of connection with the world around us.
Some people cope with that by hurting themselves, and sometimes people have really difficult thoughts and ideas about how they might end their lives if they don't feel able to cope anymore.
It's really important that we understand whether your difficulties have impacted on you in this way, so that we can make sure to support your safety, and get you the right package of care from the start.

If you are answering this section as a parent of a young person aged 13 and under, try to answer this as far as possible from their experiences.

Please note: if you tell us that you are currently taking actions towards ending your life, we have a duty of care to pass this information on to your GP to try and support your safety.
