What is happening during the
changeover period?

During the changeover month, we will continue to review referrals. However, for difficulties such as those shown below, it is likely that self-help guides or signposting to another service will be recommended. (click on the bullet points for helpful website links)

• covid-19 related anxiety
• phobias
• low level behaviour difficulties
• parenting concerns
• bereavement
• bullying and friendships
• self-esteem/confidence issues.

If difficulties persist or get worse, do get in touch with us again after 1st April 2021.

Please be assured that referrals for children with greater urgency, risk or need will continue to be reviewed by our staff team, daily.

There is a lot of useful information for parents/carers on our Website (the Link will open in a new tab).

We are still based in Ethelbert Road - nothing about the Bromley Y Charity itself will change and the important thing is that we are still here to help you and your family.

What should I do if immediate and urgent help is needed?

If your child or young person’s life or the life of someone else is in danger, please call the emergency services 999

If you are concerned about an immediate safety risk to do with a young person’s mental health, please use the Oxleas Urgent Advice line on 0800 330 8590 Mon-Fri 9-5pm.


Outside of these hours, please use the South London Partnership Crisis Line -020 3228 5980 Monday to Friday 5pm-10pm and Saturday to Sunday 9am to 10pm.
