We’ll be closed from the end of the day on 22nd December, reopening 2nd January. We know our mental health doesn’t take time off during the year so here’s some information on where you can go during this time for support.
If your life or someone else’s is in immediate danger, please call 999.
If you are in distress and need to talk to someone, you can call either:
- the West Yorkshire 24 hour support line on 0800 183 0558
- the Connect helpline on 0808 800 1212 (6pm – 2am 7 days a week). Online chat also available.
If you are in crisis and need urgent help with your mental health, call the 24-hour LYPFT Single Point of Access (SPA) on 0800 183 1485 (If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you can text 07983 323867).
For someone to listen, Samaritans is available 24 hours a day, on Freephone 116 123.
