Mental Health Services: Coronavirus (20 October 2020)

We recognise the pressures on mental health services due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated measures. We have released tailored guidance on the Every Mind Matters website and GOV.UK giving advice and practical steps for people to support their mental health and wellbeing. National Health Service mental health services have remained open for business throughout this time, including delivering support digitally and by phone. For those with severe needs or in crisis, NHS mental health providers have set up 24 hours a day, seven days a week urgent mental health helplines. We have also provided over £10 million funding for mental health charities supporting people through the pandemic.
