Other people asked
Our helpline can get very busy which unfortunately can mean a longer wait at times, but all calls will be answered if you choose to hold. We know holding can be tough, so alternatively you can come back again a little later and try again.
If it is an emergency and you don’t feel safe to wait, please call emergency services on 999 or on 111 and ask for the crisis team.
Samaritans are open 24 hours a day on 116 123
We also have a Services Directory here with a list of other organisations that might be helpful.
