Who Do I Contact in an Emergency?
Please note, Book My Therapy is not a crisis team.
If you are in crisis and need urgent assistance, please contact either your GP, 111 or go to the Mental Health Foundation Directory to get the number for your region.
If you're worried someone may be suicidal, please contact your local Ministry of Health Crisis Assessment Team.
