The new number is: 0808 196 3779
The service is available to anyone in mental health crisis at anytime, anywhere across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and is available 24 hours a day, seven-days a week, the Freephone number, 0808 196 3779 is the number to call if you are experiencing a mental health crisis and need immediate help.
