Covid 19 Mutual Aid Mental Health

Continuing with the approach of presenting the contents of the Covid 19 Mutual Aid PDF report on this website for those that are not able to download a PDF document for whatever reason. This section of the report focuses on Mental Health. So, let’s get straight into it. Here’s the message to be found in Covid 19 Mutual Aid Mental Health.

Covid 19 Mutual Aid Mental Health

Firstly, make a note of this number m- 0300-303-3972. This is the number for the NHS Cheshire and Wirral Partnership new mental health helpline.

Have a read of this:

Local NHS Trust, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP) has launched a new mental health helpline. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is open to people of all ages including children and young children who need urgent mental health support.

The helpline is part of the NHS long term plan to improve access to mental health support. Originally due to go live next year, it has been fast-tracked to be available to support people during the Covid 19 pandemic.

You will want to make a note of these as well.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services

A website is to make it easy for young people, parents, carers and professionals to access the wealth of helpful resources across the internet to support their mental health and their emotional well-being.

Covid 19 Mutual Aid Mental Health May Be Busier Soon

After Boris Johnson’s announcement on Saturday of another lockdown, the need for mental health support may well increase. It has been hard enough for so many. This extra lockdown may well push some to the limit. Don’t suffer alone though. There are plenty of numbers above for you to seek support if you feel the need.

I hope this Covid 19 Mutual Aid Mental Health post has been useful. Stay safe everyone. And, as I said above, if you need to call any of the numbers above, then don’t hesitate.
