When you or someone you know is in crisis you may need help very quickly.
If the safety of someone with a mental health problem, or those around them, is at serious and immediate risk then contact the ambulance or police by dialling 999.

Open to residents of Mid Essex every evening between 6pm – 1am. Access to support is by referral pathway only.
Go straight to A&E, if you can, or call NHS 111 (Option 2). If you can’t do this by yourself, ask someone to help you.
