Here is a list of crisis services that you might find useful…
Crisis service |
Situations when this service can help |
| Accident and Emergency (A&E) (emergency support) |
You need immediate medical help, especially if you think you might act on suicidal thoughts, or you’ve harmed yourself and need urgent medical attention. |
| Emergency GP appointments (emergency support) |
You need urgent support for your mental health, but there’s no immediate danger to your safety or the safety of others. |
| Listening services (telephone support) |
You need to talk to someone right away about how you’re feeling. |
| Crisis teams (Crisis resolution and home treatment team) | When you need urgent support, and you are already in contact with your local mental health services. |
| Crisis houses | When you need more intensive support than can be offered to you at home, but it’s not appropriate for you to be admitted to hospital. |
| Hospital admission |
