In crisis?

How are you peeling? Need to talk to someone?

Talking about mental health isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. We provide community health, mental health, and learning disability services across Essex and beyond. As part of this, we offer NHS Talking Therapies – free, confidential support to help people look after their mental wellbeing. No GP referral needed!
