URGENT MENTAL HEALTH ADVICE
If you are in a mental health crisis, this page has all the advice and guidance you need to keep yourself or a loved one safe.
If you are experiencing something that makes you feel unsafe, distressed, or worried about your mental health, you can contact your local crisis service in Sheffield by calling NHS 111 and selecting the mental health option.
You can call for yourself or for someone else.
If you or a loved one is already receiving support from one of our services, and you are in a mental health crisis and need urgent help, you can still contact the team that is working with you during office hours. Outside of office hours please contact NHS111.
NHS 111 is for all ages, including children and young people, and those with neurodevelopmental needs.
If you are deaf or have hearing loss, please use this link to be connected to the service.
If you are not able to make the call yourself, then anyone can call on your behalf – for example a friend, carer, loved one or your GP. You can also access NHS 111 online via 111.nhs.uk
In emergency situations where there is an immediate risk to life, you should continue to contact 999 or go to A&E.
