Self-referral

The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Somerset welcome self-referrals for any young person aged 16 or 17 years old, who may have concerns about their mental health.

The Single Point of Access team will discuss the referral with the young person and agree on the best way forward and ensure the young person receives the appropriate level of support.

Young people can self-refer by either completing the self-referral form or contacting the team on 03001245012. (Please note that the self-referral can only be completed by the young person).

We just need to understand a little bit more about what has been difficult. It would be helpful to know of any significant life events/changes that are affecting you e.g. parental separation, bereavement, how you are sleeping and eating, whether anything worries you and how long these difficulties have been going on for. No matter how much or little information you give we will still contact you.
