We know this can be a particularly anxious and difficult time,
particularly if you or someone you care about struggles with mental
health difficulties.
In order to alleviate pressure on primary care and accident and
emergency departments, our staff will be available 24/7 to provide
advice, guidance and support over the phone to anyone who may be
worried about their own or someone else's mental health.
The telephone line - 0300 3031320 - provides
round-the-clock support for adults and children, seven days a week,
365 days a year.
If you or your loved one feels unsafe, at risk or unable to cope
without professional advice, our dedicated staff, will respond to
your enquiries and arrange for trained mental health advisors and
clinicians to help enable you to manage your
difficulties.
The Mental Health 24/7 Response Line works closely with
our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) to provide support
and signpost people to other services for anyone in the general
population seeking mental health support.
