Information for carers and relatives dealing with a mental health crisis

As a Trust we aim to work with and support carers and value your opinions and views as you will know your loved one best.

This information has been produced by LPFT staff and carers to assist you to deal with a mental health crisis.

We know that when you are dealing with a mental health crisis you often can’t think straight and may need help. This is designed to give you information on who you can contact and how to deal with someone who may be in a mental health crisis.

The information provided here to assist you in managing difficult situations is a guide only and we would encourage you to seek help at the earliest opportunity if you feel in danger or your loved one is at imminent risk.
