Get Help Now

If you feel like you might attempt suicide, or may have seriously harmed yourself, you need urgent medical help. Please:

• Call 999 for an ambulance
• Go straight to A&E, if you can
• Call your local crisis team – if you don’t already have their number, you can find an urgent mental health helpline on the NHS website

If you can’t do any of the above yourself, ask someone to help you. Mental Health emergencies are serious, you are not wasting anyone’s time.

If you don’t want to call 999

If you can keep yourself safe for a short while, but you still need urgent advice:

• Contact NHS 111 if you live in England
• Contact NHS 111 Wales if you live in Wales (select option 2 to access urgent mental health support)
• Contact a local urgent mental health helpline (England only)
• Contact your GP surgery and ask for an emergency appointment. Many GPs are now offering these remotely.
