As part of the 2024 Service Review Process, Stockport ICB has taken the decision to de-commission the Mental Health Matters telephone helpline that has been in place for the last five years. A significant number of calls are made to this line each month.
Please be aware that the Open Door 24/7 helpline (0800 138 7276) will cease to operate from 1 April 2025.
Patients should be signposted to the following helplines
Pennine 24/7 Helpline: 0800 014 9995
NHS: 111 Option 2
Samaritans: 116 123
Papyrus Hopeline: 0800 068 4141
However, the Open-Door team remains committed to providing emotional support to those in crisis – they are open 7 days a week, Mon-Fri 10-6pm and Weekends 12-5pm. They will still be operating a drop-in service along with bookable appointments.
People can also leave a message on their answering service on the following number 0161 549 9717 and they will get back to them within 24 hrs.
