Supporting the mental health of everyone is vital, especially in these unprecedented times. National Health Service mental health services remain open for business and will be available throughout the national restrictions and the winter, providing support online and by phone where necessary.

All mental health trusts have established 24 hours a day, seven days a week urgent helplines where people with severe needs or experiencing a mental health crisis can access urgent support and advice. These will continue to provide support through the national restrictions and the winter.
