Need Urgent Help?
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.
Please call NHS 111 and select the mental health option to talk to a mental health professional. They will be able to support you to get the help/advice you need. The service is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You should still call 999 or go to A&E if you have an immediate, life-threatening emergency requiring mental or physical health assistance.
Shout (24/7 all age text messaging service)
Are you feeling anxious or stressed and need support? Text 'BLUE' to 85258 to start a conversation, via text, with a trained volunteer, who will provide free and confidential support. The Shout service is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information, you can watch or listen to a video to find out how the service works.
