Need urgent help?
For urgent mental health support in England that is not an emergency, call NHS 111 and select the mental health option.
Featured support
Two organisations we want visitors to be able to find quickly, alongside the wider support network below.
Suicide prevention
PAPYRUS provides suicide-prevention support for young people under 35 who are experiencing thoughts of suicide, and for anyone worried about a young person.
Local counselling & wellbeing
The Mary Calvert Project helps adults access counselling and wellbeing support when the cost of private sessions would otherwise be a barrier, working alongside ACT Counselling & Wellbeing in Keighley.
