In an emergency call the police on 999

An emergency is when you, or other people, are not safe and in need of immediate help.

We know that thinking about these sorts of experiences and behaviours can be difficult. You are not alone, and there are people ready to listen to you.

Listed below are national helplines and services that can provide support, and can signpost you to local services if you need one.

If it is safe, please print out this section. (If using Windows, highlight the text, left click if using a standard mouse or touchpad, and choose 'Print Selection'. If using a Mac, highlight, then click File, Print, and select Print Selection). Or you can take a screenshot or photo of it.
