New Lincolnshire mental health messaging service
Anyone experiencing a mental health crisis can text from any mobile phone or start a chat online at www.chathealth.nhs.uk
Basic demographic details will be requested as standard, but individuals can choose to remain anonymous.
Dedicated text lines:
- Adults (18+): 07312 263027
- Children & Young People (under 18): 07480 635303
The team aims to respond to messages within two hours.
The service supports issues such as mood changes, withdrawal, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, self-care difficulties, hallucinations, or thoughts of self-harm. It cannot provide prescriptions, diagnoses, home visits, Mental Health Act assessments, or hospital admissions.
For anyone already open to a mental health team, usual contacts should be used during office hours.
For life-threatening emergencies, people must still call 999 or attend A&E.
This service is delivered by LPFT using ChatHealth, an award-winning NHS messaging platform.
