We know that asking for support can feel like a big step, so we try to make the process as simple and reassuring as possible.
Whether you are looking for support for yourself or a family member, it all starts with completing a short referral form. Once we receive it, we will guide you through the next steps and move at a pace that feels right for you.
If your family member is already a Destined member, you do not need to complete a new referral. Just get in touch with us and we will talk you through what happens next.
