  • Mental Health Services: Referrals to psychologists, psychiatrists, or specialised therapists for conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma.
  • Support Groups: Connecting clients with peer support groups or community organisations that focus on shared experiences or specific challenges (e.g., grief, addiction).
  • Social Services: Referrals to social services for assistance with housing, financial support, or legal issues that may be impacting the client’s mental health.
  • Occupational Therapy: Suggesting occupational therapy for clients needing support with daily living skills or sensory processing challenges.
  • Crisis Services: Directing clients to crisis hotlines or emergency services if they are in immediate distress or experiencing suicidal thoughts.
