Following the overwhelming success of its existing all night mental health crisis services, The Sanctuary has been commissioned to provide 24 hour mental health crisis support to residents across Manchester - including Salford, Trafford, Tameside and Glossop.
The Sanctuary 24 hour mental health crisis line will launch in August 2015.
However, local residents (aged 18+) or those registered with a GP in your area, can already access The Sanctuary overnight service, operating from 8pm – 6am, which provides a place of safety and support, welcoming people experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and / or suicidal thoughts outside of usual office hours.
The Sanctuary provides an important alternative to people who, in the past, have gone to A&E services when experiencing a mental health crisis during the night.
Clients can access the service by calling The Sanctuary on 0161 637 0808. Following a conversation with trained Sanctuary staff, the caller will then be offered telephone support or they will be invited to come to The Sanctuary for one-to-one support.
Please note: The Sanctuary do not accept referrals from people with severe and enduring mental health issues. The Sanctuary has a strict inclusion/exclusion policy and is a primary care mental health commissioned service.
