How to join

You can join SUN yourself (self-referral). This means:

• You do not need an assessment
• You do not need to be referred by a professional

Once you complete a Resource and Support Plan (RASP), you can attend SUN groups as often as you like.

What is a RASP?

The Resource and Support Plan (RASP) helps you and others in the group.

It helps to:

• Show others how to support you during sessions
• Help you think about ways to look after yourself outside the group

When you first join:

• Other group members will help you complete your plan
• They will also support you as you settle into the group

Can I use other services?

Yes. Attending SUN will not affect other support you receive.

• You can still use other services at the same time
• It may help to let those services know you are attending SUN

How to refer yourself

Option 1: Virtual Assistant (recommended)

The easiest way to join is by using the Virtual Assistant.

• Works on phones, tablets, and computers
• Uses a secure chat
• Sends your form straight to the SUN team

Option 2: Referral form

If you cannot use the Virtual Assistant:

• You can download a Word version of the form
• Find it in the ‘Resources’ section
• You can print and complete it if needed

What happens next?

After completing your referral and RASP:

• You are welcome to start attending groups
• You can come as often as feels helpful to you
