Healthwatch Rotherham have created the below list of mental health services available both in Rotherham and across the country. We believe in the importance of making Rotherham residents aware of the services available to them and how to access them, ensuring people know there is help and support out there if they should need it. We have grouped the services into local and national categories, and have tried to include contact details where possible. Please follow the website links which will direct you to the service website, where you can find more information and resources. If you have any questions, please contact us.
A printable version of our directory is also available.
