If you’re feeling distressed and need urgent support, Shout and 111 are there to help. Both of these services offer free and confidential support.

Call 999 or go to your nearest Emergency Department now if someone’s life is at risk – for example they have seriously injured themselves or taken an overdose – or you do not feel you can keep yourself or someone else safe.

A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a physical one. You will not be wasting anyone’s time.
