Where to find help & support
If you are experiencing a mental health problem or are worried about someone who is, help and support is always available.
In an emergency call 999 or immediately go to your local Accident and Emergency department if:
- your life is in danger (for example, you are at risk of taking your own life or have seriously harmed yourself)
- the life of someone else is in danger (for example they are at risk of taking their own life or have seriously harmed themselves)
- you or someone else needs immediate help and you are worried about safety
If you are not able to do this yourself, ask someone else to help.
