Referrals currently paused during October

Unfortunately, due to current high volumes, our core service referrals are now paused for the rest of October.  Note: this is only a temporary measure until November. 

This does not apply to our dads' support services or our young parents services which are still welcoming referrals.

For young parents referrals only (under 21yrs) click here

If you haven't done so already, please talk to your midwife, health visitor and GP about how you are feeling at the moment.

Acacia Family Support is not a crisis service.  If you need to speak to somebody now. If you are currently experiencing distressing thoughts and feel you might be at risk of harming yourself or someone else, here are a list of the most appropriate services:

• In an emergency, with an immediate risk to life, dial 999 or visit A&E
• Call NHS Direct on 111, to access crisis mental health support and advice 24/7
• Your GP, or out of hours service
• The Samaritans on 116 123
• In Birmingham and Solihull you can also text "SPACE" to 85258 to talk about your feelings with a mental health professional for free 24/7 - any time, anywhere.
