Free online support to improve your mental health. Easy to use anywhere, anytime. You choose. Best of all, it works!
This online tool is designed for people with mild-to-moderate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
If you are displaying flu-like systems or have recently travelled, you need to phone Healthline on 0800 358 5453.
Healthline will provide guidance on whether assessment and testing is needed. If you cannot get through to Healthline you can also phone your general practice/doctor for advice.
It is important that only those directed to seek assessment visit the centres to avoid creating unnecessary delays.
Please be prepared to wait at the centres and do not get out of your car. There is no need to panic or rush down early to attend the centre as they will be open every day until further notice.
