Emergency Contacts
No matter what you are going through, please know that there is a great amount of support out there.
If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact your GP (General
Practitioner), They should be able to support you as a first point of contact, or at least
know what is happening for you so they can support you.
If you cannot contact your GP, you can also find a local NHS urgent mental health helpline (in England only) here, which is available 24/7.
If you are concerned about the safety of yourself or of somebody else! When you can't talk, dial 999 then press 55 when prompted. This is called The Silent Solution system (please note that your location is not immediately traceable, if you can only say one thing, say your location!)
If you just wish to talk to someone in confidentiality, the following places provide
