Support Services
What if I need help quickly?
Please note that I am unable to provide a crisis service. If you are feeling actively suicidal or that you might hurt yourself please contact your GP or out of hours service, or visit A&E.
If you feel unable to do these things please contact a crisis service such as The Samaritans on 116123 who operate 24 hours a day and are trained to listen to your difficulties and offer support at times of crisis.
