Urgent Mental Health Support
URGENT MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT:
Call 999 or go to A&E
You should call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- Someone's life is at risk - for example they have seriously injured themselves or taken an overdose
- 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.
