IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS NOW

If you find yourself seriously contemplating suicide or have inflicted serious harm upon yourself, it is crucial to seek immediate medical assistance.

Please try these steps:

1. Dial 999 to request an ambulance.

2. If possible, proceed directly to your nearest Accident & Emergency (A&E) department.

3. If you do not have their contact information, you can locate an urgent mental health helpline on the NHS website to reach out to your local crisis team.

4. If you are unable to take these steps on your own, please reach out to someone you trust for assistance.
