Manchester Users Network. How To get Help Over Christmas and the New Year 2016/17 :

 

 

Crisis teams can give urgent help to people who have a mental health problem.

  • You can call NHS 111. The line is for when you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency. You can call 111 if you don’t know who to call or you don’t have a GP to call. Or if you need health information or advice about what to do next.
  • Go to the accident and emergency (A&E) or casualty department of the local hospital. You can also do this if you have physical injuries (for example, because of self harm, injury or overdose). A&E will assess you and may get a psychiatrist to see you. You could get admitted to a mental health ward in hospital.
  • You can call the emergency services on 999 if you cannot go to A&E. They may contact mental health services such as the crisis team or take you to A&E

Mental health emergency – if you’re in crisis or despair

If your mental or emotional state quickly gets worse, or you’re in crisis or despair, or you know someone who is, help is available. It’s important to get help quickly. You’re not alone; talk to someone you trust. Sharing a problem is often the first step to recovery.
