Help in a crisis

We do not provide a treatment or care service or advice for those in crisis.

If you are in crisis or feeling suicidal, we urge you to seek help:

  • From your general practitioner
  • From your local hospital emergency department
  • Through a telephone helpline service
  • By discussing your problem with a friend or colleague
