We understand that sometimes people will need immediate support.

Since the introduction of NHS 111 for mental health crisis in 2024, the West Yorkshire Mental Health helpline has been accessible via 111.

This change only applies to the West Yorkshire Mental Health Helpline. If you need immediate help for your mental health, you can contact one of these 24-hour mental health crisis lines:
