Mental Health : How to Get Help
If you are concerned about your mental health, or the mental health of a family member or friend, you can ask for help from the Barnsley Mental Health Service: Single Point of Access on 01226 6449000.
Lines are open Monday – Friday between 9:00am and 5:00pm, someone will answer your call take some details and a duty worker will call you back as soon as they can.
This team can help with:
- low level stress

You can still self-refer online here, but if you are experiencing more severe mental health issues you should see your GP first of all so they can refer you for the right level of support.

- Samaritans 116 123 free from any phone
- NHS 111

You can also report to A&E with a severe mental health problem.
