Dorset’s Access Mental Health services will be open as usual during the festive period to provide support for anyone struggling to cope, seeking help or advice, feeling low or anxious, or heading towards a crisis.
Led by Dorset HealthCare, the services offer round-the-clock help and advice to those in need, in person, over the phone and online over Christmas and into the new year.
This time of year can be a particularly tough time for many of us. Worried about your mental health or someone you know?
The county’s Connection helpline is open 24/7 for support, advice and signposting for anyone in Dorset. Direct dial 0800 652 0190 or call NHS 111 and select the mental health option.
Dorset HealthCare have shared details of face-to-face drop-in services, additional Community Front Room pop-up’s, and planned changes to Community Front Rooms and The Retreats taking place from mid-January.
For full information on services, opening times, helpline numbers and upcoming changes, please read more on the Dorset HealthCare website.
