Mental Health Helpline for young people

Advice, guidance and support to children, young people and carers is available round the clock.

Examples when people may call the children and young people’s mental health helpline include:

  • if your child has recently developed some significant mental health problems and you are very concerned about them

  • if a child or young person has self-harmed but it does not appear to be life threatening, or they’re talking about wanting to self-harm

The number to call depends on the time of the call:

9am-5pm on weekdays: 01865 903889

5pm-9am on a weekday or weekends: 01865 901000
