Supporting Children's Mental Health
Supporting the mental health of our students is very important to us at Capella House School. Please find useful links and information relating to mental health below.
Where should you go to get urgent help?
NHS Crisis Lines
Please contact the South West London and St George's Mental Health Trust 24 hour Mental Health Support Line. Anyone can use this out of hours line, even if you are not seen by
CAMHS.
The 24/7 Crisis Line is supported by trained mental health advisors.

Attend A&E
If you cannot keep yourself / your child immediately safe, and have contacted the Crisis Line, you may be advised to attend A&E.
Contact your GP
If you or your child needs urgent mental health support, but you feel like you can keep yourself/your child safe for a little while, you should book an emergency GP appointment - contact your GP surgery directly to book.
