Out of Hours support
The person you care for may experience a deterioration in their mental health at any time and may require advice or support.

If the person you care for becomes unwell outside of these hours and you need to speak to someone urgently, please call our co-ordination centre on 01865 901000 where one of our experienced call handlers will be able to assist you.
Call NHS 111 and press option 2 for the Mental Health Helpline if you need urgent mental health support but it’s not an emergency. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all ages.
