Adult mental health, aged 17 years +

If you or someone you know is in mental health crisis, contact CPFT’s First Response Service by ringing NHS 111, and selecting option 2.

There are many local and national resources offering help and support for mental health. From aged 17 and above you can access the NHS Local Wellbeing Hub that can signpost and offer therapy. This CPFT website has lots of patient resources and videos that are extremely helpful. You can self-refer – no GP appointment necessary.

For those in work or education there may be resources available to you through these areas, so always ask if you feel able to.

For those not in work but trying to get back into the workplace you can find links to local support through the Keep Your Head website.

Granta can offer appointments if you feel you need one and we can also help you navigate what services may be available to you that might help.

There are many online resources available. Below are some links to a few but do search online as there is a lot of help out there.
