Holism itself is a philosophy in which the person is considered as a functioning whole rather than composites of several systems. Currently Mental Health services are trying to incorporate this philosphy in to their way of working.
Therfore Holistic tratment/care is basically what all healthcare should be anyway and its just a technical term to basically say they will assess treat the whole person not just focus on the problem/problem area. Its about assessing and taking in to account your physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing and the fact that you are an individual and that there are both external and internal factors that impact on your health.
Basically it will probably be no different to anyother assessment youve had as technically all assessments should be holistic.
Hope all goes well for you.
take care
