Leicester, Leciestershire and Rutland Mental Health Crisis Service
In May 2017, Turning Point was commissioned by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust to provide an enhanced crisis house service. The service includes a crisis house which provides support with accommodation where people experiencing a mental health crisis can stay for a short period to recover, a 24-hour telephone helpline and one-to-one support. We are delighted to announce a number of changes to the service.
New community-based crisis support available from October
The Leicestershire and Rutland service will be piloting a number of community outreach sessions from 9th October. 1:1 Appointments will be available in 8 locations around Leicestershire. You do not need a referral to access this service. You can book an appointment by either calling the crisis helpline on 0808 800 3302, or sending an email requesting an appointment to Leicestershire.Helpline@turning-point.co.uk Some locations will also provide a space where you can spend time amongst other people with experience of mental health needs including our peer support workers who are on their own recovery journey.
