What should I do if there is an immediate risk?
If you have concerns for your mental state and you feel there is an immediate and serious danger to yourself or another person:
- call 999 immediately for an ambulance or the police
- or you can also call 111 when you need medical advice fast but it’s not a 999 emergency
