Urgent support 

If you're not immediately worried about keeping yourself safe, but are feeling distressed and would like urgent support, you should contact your local NHS urgent mental health helpline.

You may also contact your nearest GP (doctor) surgery to request an emergency appointment or call the free NHS out-of-hours medical line on 111, and they will help you access the right services.

Difficult thoughts and feelings

If you are experiencing difficult thoughts and feelings, the SPCS Staf Safe Card offers information on how to cope with your emotions.
