Urgent Help

If you are feeling suicidal or are having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else and cannot stay safe:

  • Contact emergency services on 999 and ask for police and ambulance. Ask someone else to call for you if you are unable to do so.
  • Go to the nearest Accident and Emergency Department or ask someone to take you - you can find your nearest one through NHS Choices
  • Call NHS 111 and ask to speak to a mental health professional.
  • If you are under the care of your local mental health team you can contact them or your local crisis support team. You can request out of hours help too. 
  • You can also request an urgent GP appointment.

The Samaritans

For urgent help in a crisis you can contact the  Samaritans free on 116 123 or via email at jo@samaritans.org.
