Mental health

Working with communities to improve the mental health, resilience and wellbeing of people in Lancashire and South Cumbria is important to us. 

Our ambition in Lancashire and South Cumbria is that mental health and wellbeing is considered of equal importance to physical health in all of our communities. When people require more support, they should be able to access an effective range of age-appropriate mental health services. At present, there is variation in access, provision and clinical outcomes.

Urgent help in a crisis

Talking therapies are not crisis services. If you or a loved one are having a mental health crisis and need help straight away you can: 

  • call NHS 111 and select the mental health option or,
  • dial 999 or go to A&E if you have harmed yourself.
