CAMHS out of Hours Advice Line

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) have launched an out-of-hours advice line for people living in the Cheshire and Wirral area (including West Cheshire, East Cheshire, South Cheshire, Vale Royal and Wirral).

The advice line is open to everyone, including young people themselves, parents, teachers, healthcare professionals and the children and young people's workforce and seeks to provide individuals with advice and support surrounding Children and Young People's mental health.

The service provides the caller with an opportunity to talk to a mental health professional about children and young people's mental health. We offer several types of support including mental health advice, resources, signposting and mental health support calls. Furthermore, we can also complete a mental health assessment over the phone and then and this will then be passed on to the relevant CAMHS team for triage.
The advice line runs from 5-10pm (Monday -Friday) and 12 – 8pm (Saturday and Sunday).

Advice Line Number is 01244 397644
