Call 999 if you or someone you know:

  • is close to acting suicidal intentions
  • is worried about your/their safety
  • in a life-threatening situation
  • has seriously self-harmed and needs urgent help

Call your GP for an emergency appointment if you:

  • experience a mental health problem for the first time
  • have an existing mental health condition that suddenly gets worse
  • have self-harmed but don’t have a life-threatening injury
  • know someone who shows signs of early onset dementia
  • experience, or know someone who suffers from domestic violence or physical, sexual or emotional abuse

You can also call 111 out of GP surgery hours if you need confidential help immediately.

111 is not an emergency service. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 999.
