If you have seriously injured yourself, taken an overdose or are at immediate risk of harm,
call 999.
If it’s not a 999 emergency but you are experiencing an immediate mental health crisis,
call 111 and select the mental health option (option 2).
If you’re deaf or have hearing loss, please use the following links to be connected to local crisis service:
NHS 111 Text relay – Call 18001 111 using the Relay UK app or a textphone. Find out how to use the Relay UK app or a textphone on the Relay UK website
If you aren’t able to make the call yourself, then anyone can call on your behalf — for example a friend, carer, loved one or even your GP. You can also access NHS 111 online via 111.nhs.uk.
Samaritans – 24 hour support line: 116 123 (free from any phone).
Other options for support:
Contact your GP
You can also ask your GP practice for an urgent appointment during opening hours.
Speak to an adult you trust
Let someone you trust know how you are feeling. A parent or carer is often the best person, but you could also speak to your school nurse, a teacher or another trusted adult.
Contact CAMHS
If you are already supported by CAMHS, contact them directly during office hours (9am to 5pm). They will talk to you about how best to meet your needs. Find your service here.
