I need help now
If you’re feeling distressed or anxious, the important thing is to stay calm.
If there’s someone you can talk to – a family member, a friend or a neighbour – ask if you can spend a few moments with them to help you relax.
Call 999 if you or anyone else is in immediate danger or harm.
Call NHS 111 if you urgently need medical help or advice, but it’s not life threatening.
If you are a young person (under 18)
If you are a young person under the age of 18, or looking for urgent help for a young person under 18, visit our Children, Young People & Family Services (CYPF) website.
