Mental Health (Adults)

We have developed this page for all of our adult patients who are suffering with mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, stress and self-harm.

All the resources below can be accessed directly without seeing your GP.

However if you are in a crisis, such as feeling suicidal, you need to access help urgently by either:

Calling the practice – 01773 602707
999 (if there is imminent threat to life)
Attending the nearest A&E

We have put together a leaflet with crisis support including Drop in services and Safe Havens.

To view the leaflet, click here.
