I was appalled to discover this recently when trying to get a referral to our local mental health services for help with anger management for my son. The GP I spoke to about it informed me that there is no provision for anger management under the NHS here in Northern Ireland. She suggested I contact one of the local autism charities, which I have done and am waiting to hear back from them. Since then I have successfully requested a referral for help with self harming as his anger issues often lead to him self harming.
