Mental Health Help and Support

If you are experiencing mental health problems or need urgent support, there are lots of resources you can turn to.

​

As our charity focuses on challenging discrimination in society, we're unable to provide individual or emergency support for people in crisis. However, there are lots of people who can, some of which are listed below.

​

This page offers up-to-date information on support services, including local charities and support directories (some information courtesy of Mind).
