If your mental or emotional state quickly gets worse or deteriorates, this can be called a ‘mental health crisis’. In this situation, it is important to get help quickly.

Please call 0800 145 6485 and our dedicated local staff will support you to access the help you need. The phone line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is open to people of all ages – including children and young people. 

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

SilverCloud is an online self-referral option that will enable you to access a programme full of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) techniques for anxiety and depression. It allows people to complete therapy in their own time, at a time and pace that suits them, whilst having regular weekly or fortnightly online reviews with a qualified mental health practitioner.

If appropriate for you, the SilverCloud programme can be tailored to your specific needs. It offers access to a number of different modules that provide information about depression and anxiety and tools and skills to manage these more effectively.

SilverCloud is particularly useful for individuals that have a busy lifestyle and would struggle to attend regular appointments during the day.

ANDYSMANCLUB are a Men’s Mental Health Charity – Offering free-to-attend talking groups for men and challenging the stigmas around Male Mental Health.

They started off as one group in the small, northern town of Halifax. That first night 9 men turned up and spoke. There was a magic in that room that everyone knew had to be shared. They knew other guys across the country needed this same experience. They have worked tirelessly through Andy’s memory to grow their clubs. They now have groups at almost 100 locations and continue to grow across the UK.

They could tell you how amazing they believe it is to see guys still with them and improving their life. They think though, you will hear it best from the horse’s mouth…

The nearest club is in Wrexham at Yellow & Blue, 11 Henblas St, Wrexham LL13 8AE. Visit their Facebook page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/Andys-Man-Club-Wrexham-102482955724093
