Urgent help
If your mental or emotional state quickly gets worse or deteriorates, this can be called a ‘mental health crisis’. In this situation, it is important to get help quickly.
Please call 0300 303 3972 and our dedicated local staff will support you to access the help you need.
The phone line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is open to people of all ages – including children and young people.
Please note, A&E and 999 are not the best places to get help for the majority of mental health problems – call 0300 303 3972 to be directed to the best local service to support you.
You should still call 999 or go to A&E if you have an immediate, life-threatening emergency requiring mental or physical health assistance.
For non-urgent help
If you feel that you do not require urgent help, but you would like more information and resources about anxiety, low mood, and the current situation, please refer to our Advice about wellbeing at home page or our dedicated website for children and young people MyMind.org.uk.
If you are over the age of 16 and a resident of Cheshire West or Central and South Cheshire, you can also self-refer into our IAPT (Improving Access to Talking Therapies) services via the following links:
