Who to contact if you need urgent support

If you feel suicidal or feel like harming yourself or other people:

• Call 999

• Go to your nearest Accident and Emergency department (A&E). You can search for your local department through the NHS Choices website

For non-emergency situations:

• Visit your GP

• Call NHS 111 (NHS Direct) – open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They can tell you about your local crisis support services or your nearest A&E.

Mental health services

If you are already receiving support from mental health services you should have a care plan. This will include details of who you should contact in a crisis.  

If you can't find your care plan:

During the day

Contact your Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) and ask for your care co-ordinator or the person on duty.

During evenings, weekends or bank holidays

Call your local crisis team.
