Mental Health Support
If you, or somebody you know, is struggling or may need support with their mental health the Police may not be the best agency to help you.
If you, or somebody you know, is already receiving treatment and support – for example from a community mental health team – your first point of contact should be with that team or named worker.
Please click on your area, and you will find links to 24/7/365 Mental Health crisis and support lines. These put you in direct contact with your local mental health support services.
If you, or somebody you know, is in immediate danger please call 999.
