MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS (MHM) - BARNSLEY SUPPORT HUB

The Barnsley Support Hub offers free mental health support to anyone aged over 18, in a safe, comfortable and supportive environment.

You can come just for a chat, or to access one-to-one emotional support from trained mental health professionals. We also offer help in creating staying well and crisis plans, and support visitors to access other services and organisations that may be useful to them.

This is a walk-in service - there's no need to be referred, you will be made welcome.  We also offer virtual support via telephone and video call.

We work closely with GPs, Community Mental Health Teams, Crisis Teams, A&E Mental Health Liaison Teams, Police and Ambulance Services, Street Triage, and other front-line healthcare professionals to ensure that people in emotional distress have a safe, supportive place to go to, with appropriate mental health support available.

People using the Barnsley Support Hub will also be supported by our 24/7 helpline, which offers access to emotional support and information when the service is closed.

We have a range of activity sessions for you to take part in as well as our Brew Crew on Monday evenings, where you can get a cuppa and a chance to meet new people, share experiences and coping strategies to help increase your self-esteem and reduce isolation.
