Emergency help
If you or someone you care for is in immediate danger call 999. If the crisis is not life threatening, call NHS 24 on their 24hour phone line 111. You may also find these other helplines useful as well as speaking with your GP.
GETTING PROFESSIONAL HELP
It can be difficult to know when and how to get help. It might be helpful to speak to someone you trust first for example a teacher, school nurse, mental health lead or a parent/carer.
