If you are experiencing difficulties and feel that you need additional support you may find these resources useful, especially outside of normal working hours:

​

• If you feel a risk to yourself or others please contact 999 immediately.

• Talk to someone you trust - Let family or friends know what's going on for you. They may be able to offer support and help keep you safe. There's no right or wrong way to talk about suicidal feelings - starting the conversation is what's important.

• Phone your GP - ask for an emergency appointment

• Contact your mental health crisis team if you have one.

• NHS Direct - They will find out what local service can help you, be connected to a nurse, pharmacist or GP, and be advised how to get any medicine you need.  Call 0845 4647, 111 or https://111.nhs.uk/
