Emergency Mental Health Support

Emergency mental health support 

If you or someone else is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical help, call 999 straight away. 

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you need urgent support, please reach out. You deserve help.
 

If you're having suicidal thoughts 

If you're thinking about ending your life, or you've harmed yourself or are worried you might, don't face it alone. Tell someone you trust and let them know exactly how you're feeling. Support is available, and people want to help.
