Suicide and Self Harm
You should call 999 or go to A&E if you, or someone you know, experiences a life-threatening medical or mental health emergency. These are cases where there is immediate danger to life or physical injury. A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency. If you feel like you may be close to acting on suicidal thoughts or have seriously harmed yourself, you should call 999 or go to A&E directly if you need immediate help and are worried about your safety.
Mental Health Crisis Intervention Team
The Mental Health Crisis Intervention Team is able to support people who are experiencing a crisis with their mental health, and who think they are at risk of harming themselves or others but who do not need immediate medical assistance. You can also call the team if you are considering attending Accident and Emergency for help with your mental health. The team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for patients and carers to ring for advice.
