Urgent help in a crisis
A mental health crisis can mean different things to different people. It can include:
thinking about suicide or acting on suicidal thoughts
severely self-harm
experiencing psychosis, where you are out of touch with reality
being in a situation that could put you or other people at risk
If you are in immediate danger, call 999
You can call your local mental health crisis line free, any time, on 0800 330 8590.
You can also access support via WhatsApp Messenger: simply message 0303 330 1511 on WhatsApp.
If you need urgent help but it’s not an emergency, call 111 (press 2 for mental health advice and support).
If you are not in crisis but would like support, speak to your GP. They’ll listen to your concerns and help you decide what to do next.
