If someone's life is at risk, or you cannot keep yourself or someone else safe, call 999 or go to A&E now.

In England, if you need urgent mental health help but it is not an immediate emergency, call 111 and select the mental health option.

Listening support is not a substitute for emergency care: Samaritans 116 123 (free UK calls, 24/7) or Text SHOUT to 85258 (free UK texts, 24/7). A reply may not be immediate.

Using a computer or if the message does not prefill: send SHOUT to 85258 from your phone. Shout's official support page.

Official NHS guidance (England). Outside England, check your nation's official health-service urgent-help guidance; the 111 mental-health pathway is not assumed to be the same.
