How to make a referral to the Build Sound Minds Derby and Derbyshire service.
Action for Children have a really simple referral process.
They are able to offer support to children/young people and families who are struggling with the following issues:
- Family difficulties - where these are having an adverse effect and the child or young person is showing signs of developing a mental health problem or disorder
- Emotional and behavioural difficulties (Mild to moderate)
- Behaviour problems once physical causes have been considered and the behaviour falls outside what might be considered to be within the range of normal behaviour
- Conduct disorders
- Anxiety, depression, stress and or other mood difficulties
- Adjustment reactions (i.e. managing transition, change)
- Simple phobias
- Self-harm - where this is mild to moderate
- Support with bereavement & loss/separation
- Bullying where this is having a significant impact on emotional wellbeing (direct/indirect/cyber)
- Anger management difficulties
- Relationship difficulties
- Parental need where support in managing and understanding behaviour could be beneficial
