How to make a referral

If you're worried about someone - a family member, client, patient or friend - you can refer them to WithYou to get support. You can also refer yourself. 

Here's how:

  1. ask for consent to make a referral on someone else's behalf

  2. find a local WithYou service using our service finder (see below)

  3. choose a service available from your location

  4. contact your local service using their contact details or complete the referral option outlined in their section of the website (if one is provided)

Once we have received your referral, we will contact either you or the client to discuss the next steps.
