Birmingham Healthy Minds (BHM) is an NHS primary care psychological therapies service that works closely with Birmingham GPs. BHM offers advice, information and brief psychological talking therapies for people aged 16 and over, who are often feeling anxious, low in mood or depressed.
How do I know if BHM service is right for me?
Can you identify with the following thoughts or feelings, persistently over the last two weeks?
• Feeling low and unhappy for much of the time
• Unable to control feelings of anxiety or panic
• Feeling stressed in general and not sure how to cope
• Worried about changes in your thoughts and behaviour
If so, our service may be able to help.
How do I access BHM Service?
Your GP can refer you to us by sending us your details and you can ask your GP to notify us of any special requirements in accessing our service, for example if English is not your first language and you require an interpreter.
Alternatively, once your GP has given you one of our leaflets, you can refer yourself by calling our service on 0121 301 2525 (please note that your GP will need to provide you with your NHS number and a surgery stamp on the leaflet).
We will be able to answer your call between 9.30am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. Please be patient as telephone lines can become very busy due to high demand on our service.
You can also email us on BHM@bsmhft.nhs.uk
