What happens when I call?
A trained Mental Health Responder picks up. They’ll listen, without judgment, and help you think about what might help next. No script, no clock.
Im not in crisis - can I still call?
Absolutely. You don’t have to be at rock bottom to deserve support. A chat is reason enough.
Can I just turn up at the centre?
For a mental-health support session, please book ahead so we can give you our full attention. Call or email us first. The Centre itself is open Mon–Fri, 9–4, 10b Abbey Walk, Selby.
Do you offer counselling?
We’re not a clinical service, but we can listen, signpost and walk alongside you while you wait for NHS support.
