Mental Health Services:

If you are already receiving support from mental health services you should have a care plan. This will include details of who you should contact in a crisis.  

If you can't find your care plan:

During the day Contact your Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) and ask for your care co-ordinator or the person on duty. 

Emotional support: If you would like to offload or talk to someone about your problems, then you may find an emotional support line useful.
