If you find yourself in a mental health crisis, it can be difficult to know what to do.
NHS 111 is here to help with the introduction of a mental health option for urgent mental health support. This will be option two. To access the service call 111 and selection option two.
Please note that if you would prefer to text this service, you can contact 07860 025 281.
The service offers a range of urgent help and support. For example, you might have feelings or experiences that feel very painful or difficult to manage such as suicidal feelings, self-harm, panic attacks, flashbacks, hypomania or mania, or psychosis (such as paranoia or hearing voices). You might also have other experiences that aren't mentioned here.
You don’t need to be referred by your GP or other health professionals, you can just reach out for help when you need it. Mental health professionals will be on hand to help you avoid a crisis and help you find the path to recovery.
Face to face support is also available outside of usual mental health service hours via the Sanctuary Hubs in each of the boroughs of the Black Country.
Monday – Friday, 6 – 11pm; and
