NHS Talking Therapies is not an emergency service, so if you feel you are deteriorating or having thoughts of suicide, call 111 and select the mental health option. It is important you keep yourself safe and get some help.
IN AN EMERGENCY
Call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- Someone’s life is at risk – for example they have seriously injured themselves or taken an overdose
