Who we're here to support
We’re here for people aged 16 or over in North Yorkshire, York and Selby who are experiencing mental health crisis or distress. If you call us about yourself or somebody else who is under 16 years old, we’ll make sure to transfer you to the right support.
You can contact the service for yourself or on behalf someone else.
We’re commissioned by Tees, Esk, and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) to deliver the Mental Health First Response Service.
How we can help
By dialing NHS 111 and selecting option 2, you’ll be directed to our compassionate Mental Health Advisors for support.
Our Mental Health Advisors will chat with you to explore your mental health crisis and the support you need. You might talk about what’s happening in your life, how to keep safe in a crisis, or other services that could help.
If you need more support, our team will transfer your call to your local North Yorkshire, York, and Selby NHS Crisis Team for an assessment from their clinical team.
If you’re experiencing mental health crisis or distress and need emergency support or medical treatment, or are calling on behalf of someone else who needs urgent help, our team will contact emergency services to arrange immediate support.
