Why We Need to Talk About Suicide
Suicidal thoughts deserve support at every age. Find NHS urgent-help information and understand when emergency help is needed.
Suicidal thoughts deserve to be taken seriously at every age. If you are concerned about yourself or someone else, seek support rather than relying on a website article or waiting for a routine appointment.
Get immediate help when needed
Call 999 or go to A&E if someone’s life is at risk, or you cannot keep yourself or someone else safe. A mental health emergency requires urgent help.
Other support
In England, call NHS 111 and select the mental health option for urgent mental health help. Samaritans can be reached on 116 123 for someone to talk to.
Care-home teams should follow their existing safeguarding and clinical escalation procedures. RTCGP is not an emergency or crisis service; do not wait for an RTCGP response when urgent help is needed.
