Please Note: This is a service for people experiencing mild to moderate mental health problems, not a crisis mental health service. It also does not replace support provided by GPs or CPNs, or A&E.
A mental health crisis can be a medical emergency – Please seek help from the appropriate place if you are feeling intense emotions and you will be supported through your difficult feelings. Here are some places that you can receive support:
- If you feel like your life is at risk, or if you have seriously harmed yourself, please call 999 immediately as this is an emergency. If you need medical help but can keep yourself safe for a while, call ‘NHS 111’ by dialling 111
- If you need urgent NHS mental health support, call our Mental Health Central Access Point: 0808 800 3302
