Coming to our service can seem quite scary and you might not know what to expect, but your first appointment is nothing to be afraid of.
Remember, this first appointment is a chance to meet a Young Minds Matter practitioner and for you to as ask us questions about what we do and how we can help.
We understand that speaking about your thoughts and feelings can feel really scary at first. We will try and help you as much as we can.
It is also important to let you know you will never be forced to share anything with us that you don’t want to.
In your first appointment, you will be asked to complete some forms or questionnaires. These can help you and the Young Minds Matter practitioner make sense of what is going on, and the best way to support you. When you start to feel better, we can look back at them to see how you are improving and the excellent progress you are making.
If you don’t want to talk during your first appointment or are worried about this, the Young Minds Matter Practitioner is there to help and would appreciate you sharing your worries.
