Mental Health

One in four people will experience a mental health problem in their lives. For every one of us that experience a mental health problem it is reported that at least ten others close to that person will be affected by its consequences. These include spouses, children, family, friends and workmates.

If you are caring for someone with a mental health problem it is important to know that there are many people who may be able to help you. For general enquires about how Surrey County Council can help you may call the the Surrey County Council Contact Centre on 08456 009 009. The local specialised mental health Carers Support Worker(s) in your area may also be able to give you independent advice, advocacy and information. It is also important that you know that you may be eligible for a Carers Needs Assessment. Surrey and Boarders Partnership NHS Trust is the main provider of services for people with mental health issues and their Carers.
