Improving Mental Health in Portsmouth
Working with people to improve community mental health support in the city
The Improving Mental Health in Portsmouth project has been set up to help improve community mental health support in the city.
We want to make getting mental health care simpler, smarter and more joined-up, so there is ‘no wrong door’ for getting support.
We’re working closely with our partners, people with lived experience, carers, volunteers and professionals to help shape our new ways of working – and we’re keen for more people to join us.
Find out more about the work we’ve done so far, including information on our previous events and workshops.

Portsmouth Mental Health Hub
Portsmouth Mental Health Hub is a phoneline that anyone aged 16+ can call to get support for their mental health.
The phoneline is run by our team of friendly, fully trained call handlers, who will connect you to the right support for you. This could be support over the phone, an appointment with services such as NHS Talking Therapies or Positive Minds, or an offer to connect you with local organisations.
Call the Hub on 0300 123 6621
The phoneline is open Monday to Friday, 8am – 6pm. You do not need to go through your GP before contacting the Hub.
If you’d like support online, visit our Mental Health in Portsmouth website to find out more.
