Mental health services
If you are already receiving support from mental health services you should have a care plan. This will include details of who you should contact in a crisis.
If you can’t find your care plan:
During the day
Contact your Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) and ask for your care co-ordinator or the person on duty.
During evenings, weekends or bank holidays
Call your local crisis team.
