NHS - How to Access Mental Health Services

Mental health services are free on the NHS, but in some cases you'll need a referral from your GP to access them. There are some mental health services that allow people to refer themselves. This commonly includes services for drug problems and alcohol problems, as well as NHS psychological therapies services (IAPT).

If your mental health difficulty is related to stress at work, you can ask your employer what occupational health services are available to you.

Some mental health problems can be managed without the help of a GP. There are a variety of materials available and local organisations offering help.
