Mental Health Assessment

All referrals into the IPRS Health Mental Health Service begin with a Mental Health Assessment to establish to most effective treatment method for the patient. 

How it works?

The assessments, which last around 60 minutes are conducted by IPRS Health accredited CBT Therapists through either a telephone or video call and cover:

• Presenting problems
