Emergency mental health support

24 hours a day, 7 days a week

If your mental or emotional state quickly gets worse or deteriorates, this can be called a 'mental health crisis'. In this situation, it is important to get help quickly.

If you are experiencing something that makes you feel unsafe, distressed, or worried about your mental health, you can access local urgent mental health support by calling NHS 111 and selecting the mental health option.

If you or someone you know requires immediate assistance for serious or life-threatening emergency mental or physical health, please call 999 or go to the emergency department.
