During times of mental health difficulties, it is important that support, help, advice and guidance are available at the earliest opportunity. Support may look like specific clinical intervention, it may be support from people who have lived experience which the reciprocity or relationships helps build confidence and understanding.

The information sheet provides signposting to adult and older person mental health supports which are available in addition to the existing primary care and secondary care mental health services.

The full list of services offering help and their contact information can be found by clicking Useful Mental Health Support Dorset
