Making a Self-Referral

If you’d like to refer yourself for support from STARS Dorset, please complete our online self referral form.

Once we’ve received your referral, our Client Support Services Team will review it and get in touch to let you know if we are able to offer you support at this time.

Important Information:

  • Due to high demand, initial contact will be made via email — please check your junk or spam folders and ensure your email address is entered correctly on the form

  • Any phone calls from our team will come from a withheld number

  • If you’re offered an appointment, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance if you can’t attend

The number of individuals who do not respond to our contact and/or do not show up to booked appointments is very high and impacting on our service.

Repeated missed or cancelled appointments (without notice) may result in your case being closed, to ensure we can support others waiting for help.

We understand that reaching out can be difficult — and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
