Black Country and West Birmingham mental health and wellbeing hub

September 9, 2022

Following the sad news of the Queen’s passing this is a reminder that colleagues across the ICS including can access the Black Country and West Birmingham mental health and wellbeing hub should they feel they want support.

Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BCHFT) has set up the Black Country and West Birmingham Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub to provide an entry point into mental health talking therapies and support for colleagues across the Black Country and West Birmingham Integrated Care System (ICS).

Qualified mental health professionals offer priority pathways to confidential telephone, video, or face-to-face support tailored to individual needs, provided by local mental health teams and support services close to home.

Don’t suffer in silence: If you are feeling overwhelmed or need someone to talk to. If you feel that you would benefit from this support, you can self-refer by visiting the BCHFT website. Alternatively, you can email bchft.hub@nhs.net or call 0121 8031444.

Note: This is not a crisis service. If you require urgent mental health support, please call Rethink’s 24/7 mental health helpline on 0800 0086516 or visit BCHFT’s help in a crisis page for a range of options. You can find out more about the 24/7 mental health helpline here.
