Contact 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, contact your our Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) during the day, 9am - 5pm from Monday to Friday. Ask for your care coordinator or the person on duty.
