EMERGENCY HELP
If someone's life is at risk or you do not feel that you can keep yourself or someone else safe, you should call 999 or go directly to an Accident & Emergency department at the nearest hospital.
For advice on dealing with a mental health crisis or emergency, please see this NHS guide.
