Help available during the pandemic

by Malcolm Allan on 16 April, 2020

We’ve been running a series of posts about what help is around. Here is another aspect, which can be passed on to anyone in need.

Stockport Council and Stockport NHS Clinical Commissioning Group have this week launched three new emotional health and wellbeing services. The new services will expand the range of support available to Stockport residents at a particularly stressful and isolating time. The three new services are:
• the Big White Wall – http://www.bigwhitewall.com/, which offers 24/7 anonymous support via a digital emotional wellbeing and mental health service, offers peer support for anyone over the age of 16 as well as support from trained clinicians alongside a range of helpful tools and resources.
• The establishment of the new 24/7 mental health helpline and (currently virtual) safe haven for anyone over the age of 18 in Stockport (0800 138 7276), commissioned by Stockport NHS CCG and provided by the charity Making Space;
• An Emotional Wellbeing Hub which provides information, advice, and guidance for anyone up to the age of 25 for emotional wellbeing and mental health concerns. Access to this is through the Multi-Agency Safeguarding and Support Hub (MASSH) – 0161 217 6028 – 8.30am-5pm Mon – Thurs 8.30am-4.30pm on Friday.
