All Age 24/7 Mental Health Crisis Line (Wirral)

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

The helpline is now the first port of call for mental health help – it is operated by people in your local area who will know how best to support you. If you call NHS 111 you may have to wait longer for help and will be re-directed to this local service.

Please note, A&E and 999 are often not the best places to get help for the majority of mental health problems – call 0800 145 6485 to be directed to the best local service to support you.

You should still call 999 or go to A&E if you have an immediate, life-threatening emergency requiring mental or physical health assistance.
