Support for Mental Health

Please be aware that the Cambridgeshire Lifespan Autism Spectrum Service is a diagnostic service and therefore we do not offer specialist mental health support.

Psychological Wellbeing Service

The Psychological Wellbeing Service is part of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies service (IAPT). Please visit their website for more information on the type of support they can offer.

Please note, CPFT Psychological Wellbeing Service is not a crisis or emergency service and cannot provide an urgent response. If you are in a mental health crisis, contact our First Response Service on 111 and select option 2.
