Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, Barnardo’s and Autism West Midlands work  together to provide emotional wellbeing and mental health services for children and young people in Solihull. We provide multi-disciplinary assessment and treatment of children and young people with mental health or severe emotional and behavioural difficulties. The service currently accepts children and young people, until their 19th birthday, or have a Solihull GP.


Accessing Solar

The line is available 24 hours, 7 days a week and can be used whether you are known to our services or not.

Children and Young People’s Privacy Notice

In an emergency


If a child’s mental state gets worse quickly, and you are worried about their safety, it’s important to get help quickly. If a child or young person:

  • is an imminent risk to themselves or others due to a deterioration in their mental health
  • has active thoughts and plans of suicide with intent
  • is severely depressed and in need of crisis assessment and intensive home treatment to prevent admission to hospital

Contact the Solar crisis service who are contactable via 0121 301 2750 (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm) where you will have  access to a trained clinician  who will assess whether you need to be seen by our Crisis Team. We will advise you what to do next.

Out of hours the crisis team are available for mental health crisis (weekdays 5pm-8pm, weekends 8am-8pm) via Northcroft switchboard 01213015500  – please ask for the Solar Crisis Team. The operator will take the best contact number and then pass it to the staff member on call and they will call you back as soon as possible.

Call 999 or go to A&E now if:

  • Someone’s life is at risk, for example they have serious injuries or have taken an overdose

The right service for you

We want to make sure you get the right service for you. For young people aged over 19, please talk to your GP who can refer you to the right service. For children and young people under the age of 19, but living in Birmingham, please also talk to your GP so they can refer you to the correct service for you.

If you’re over the age of 16 and need support with anxiety, stress, depression or low mood, it might be worth self-referring yourself to Solihull Healthy Minds if you live in Solihull, or Birmingham Healthy Minds if you live in Birmingham.
