You can contact NHS 111 option 2 for urgent mental health support 24/7, Samaritans on 116 123 at any time for emotional support, or text SHOUT to 85258 for immediate text support day or night.
Childline (0800 1111) is available 24/7 for children and young people under 19, and Mind (0300 102 1234) offers advice and support Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm.
