Mental Health Support

Children, young people and their families can get free help, advice and urgent mental health support from crisis telephone lines available in every London borough. 

Every NHS mental health trust in London has put these in place, so children, young people and their families can get help quickly when they need it. Professionals are also able to access these crisis lines if they are concerned about or would like advice about a child, young person or family. The crisis lines are supported by trained mental health practitioners, who can offer advice and signpost other sources of support as needed. 

Please find below a brief information pack with details of these crisis lines as well as other support available (e.g. Shout, Good Thinking and Kooth).
