Crisis Support
IMPORTANT:
If you or someone you know is at very high risk of immediate harm, and you are in the UK, please call the emergency services on 999.
If you are planning to cause life-altering harm to yourself, or end your life by suicide, then it's crucial that you speak to your GP or local crisis team, or go to your nearest A&E to find support. Find your nearest A&E.
If you are struggling to cope with any mental health distress, please contact a helpline.
You can view a list of helplines on Mind's website here:
Many helplines are open 24/7.
Some crises are spiritual in nature. Spiritual crisis is a form of grieving or loss, that may cause you to question or lack of meaning in life, and can be a turning point, leading to a significant change in the way you view life. If you think that you may be experiencing a spiritual crisis, you could contact the Spiritual Crisis Network (SCN):

SCN will usually respond by email within 1 week.
If you are facing a social or legal crisis, then here are some resources which may be helpful to you:
The Human Bill of Rights by Pete Walker may help you to understand your rights in relationships with others.
The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights describes clearly the rights that the UK state is meant to protect for its citizens under the Human Rights Act 1998.
Citizens Advice can provide you with advice if you need it.
To calm your mind, try a short guided breathing exercise from Every Mind Matters.
Due to limited resources, I cannot offer an emergency service, so please contact the most appropriate urgent support services accessible to you.
