How to refer?

Important: Due to the sensitivity of the population we serve, the referral must be discussed with the individual being referred before it is submitted to FIRST Project.

At FIRST Project Inc we receive referrals from family doctors and other medical professionals, social service agencies, schools, other psychologists and psychiatrists, attorneys, client's friends and family, and more.

Please visit our page "When to refer" to see who may be eligible for our services.

If you want to refer a client, patient, friend or family member, all you need to do is, download our referral form, explain the referral to the client fill it out and fax it to (402) 488-6742 or mail it to:

FIRST Project Inc
1000 'O' St., Suite 102

You will need adobe reader, which can be downloaded for free, to see and print out our referral form.

If you are a doctor or referring from a doctor's office, clients' medical information may be very helpful, but not required. All clients have to initial and sign our consent form at the time of the intake appointment (first visit). To speed up the process you can download the consent form in:
Arabic
Bosnian
English
Farsi
French
Spanish
and have the client initial, sign, and bring it in to the appointment. This process is also easiest when referring a minor. Please do not fax this form to us.

After we receive the referral form we will contact the referred person to schedule an intake appointment. This intake appointment is with one of our case managers and is usually 1 to 2 hours long. If needed, we make the arrangements with our interpreters for that session. We only use interpreters trained by us, so the family members, friends and other interpreters can not interpret on any appointments at the FIRST Project.

Further arrangement and follow up appointments are made with the client at the intake appointment.
