General advice
It is not possible to list every single health service in a local area – we have give you some examples, below, on national free services that you can access, as well as some free services within your council area. You need to undertake your own checks, or discuss with your GP, to decide which services meet your needs.
Regional Services
You can find out about a range of mental health services available across Lancashire on Lancashire and South Cumbria Health and Care Partnership website.
