HELP ME NOW

The CLD Trust is no longer accepting referrals.  The NHS has asked us to place the following explanatory note on our website: 

From 1 April 2025, ONSIDE will become the new NHS-commissioned provider for children’s emotional wellbeing and mental health services for Herefordshire, previously provided by the CLD Trust.

All current clients of the CLD Trust will continue to receive support as planned. However, referrals into the CLD Trust for new clients have now been closed ahead of the new service commencing.

In the interim, if you or your child require support, the following services are available:

• If you are experiencing something that makes you feel unsafe, distressed, or worried about your mental health, you can contact the Herefordshire and Worcestershire 24 hour urgent mental health helpline by calling NHS 111 and selecting the mental health option.

• If you need to talk, any time day or night, these services offer confidential advice from trained volunteers:

• Call 116 123 to talk to Samaritans, or email: jo@samaritans.orgfor a reply within 24 hours.
• Text “SHOUT” to 85258 to contact the Shout Crisis Text Line.
• If you’re under 19, you can call 0800 1111 to talk to Childline. The number will not appear on your phone bill.
• Are you a young person in crisis? Visit the Young Minds website for more support.
