If your family is in crisis and needs emotional or mental health support, you can self-refer via the Single Point of Access (SPA). This is a team of clinicians who will review the emotional and mental health needs of you or your family member and decide the best way to support.

The self-referral form you need to complete can be accessed via the following link:
