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 028 8000.

If you need urgent help but it’s not an emergency, call 111 (press 2 for mental health advice and support)
