Free help, advice and urgent mental health support for children, young people and families
FAO: All Schools / All Phases
Dear Colleagues
This cascade is to remind people of the wide range of support available for young people in urgent mental health need. Please do share this with colleagues and make the information known to young people and their families if they need it.
Children, young people and their families can get free help, advice and urgent mental health support from 24/7 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 attached a brief information pack with details of these crisis lines as well as other support available (e.g. Shout, Good Thinking and Kooth).
Kind regards
Children and Young People’s Mental Health Programme
