A NEW independent helpline has been launched to offer support to people who may be experiencing times of crisis.
MindLine Cumbria will provide practical information about mental health, and inform people what services and support are available.
It is there to offer support to those who may be feeling desperate, or simply need to talk things through with someone.
Mindline Cumbria is open from noon to 9pm from Monday to Friday, and from 5pm to 9pm on Saturday.
The service has been developed by the five local Mind groups: Furness, Ulverston, South Lakeland, West Cumbria and Carlisle/Eden.
To contact the service, call 0300 561 0000 or email info@mindlinecumbria.org
