New messaging service to help people with mental health difficulties
A brand new 24/7 mental health crisis messaging service is launching across south London for WhatsApp users.
The South London NHS Mental Health Crisis Text service aims to strengthen access to mental health crisis support and helping more people access compassionate, confidential and free support in a format that works for their individual needs.
Now, anyone facing difficulty with their mental health can access this support by messaging 0303 330 1511 on WhatsApp.

Beyond crisis support, the mental health advisors managing the service are trained to signpost to support with housing, finances, relationships, employment and other practical support.
The service will be delivered by Everyturn, a mental health charity and leading provider of crisis services including crisis line, houses and community based Safe Havens.
