The mental health crisis response team operates every night from 8pm to 8.30am, offering community support to help individuals return home safely from emergency departments if they require ongoing mental health crisis care.

Referrals will be taken from our Single Point of Access (SPA) as well as local Home Treatment and Psychiatric Liaison teams.

For London boroughs, phone 0800 0234 650, or email cnw-tr.spa@nhs.net.

If you or the person you are calling about is already receiving care from one of our mental health teams (between the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday) the NHS encourages you to call the team that looks after you.
