If you are concerned about an immediate risk of harm - either to yourself or someone else - then phone 999.
Go to your nearest A&E
Go to your nearest hospital with an Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department. In some hospitals, this will be called the Emergency Department. There are staff on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, who will be able to assess you and give you the appropriate help.
Contact mental health services
If you are already receiving support from Sussex Partnership mental health services you should have a care plan and crisis card. These will include details of who you should contact in a crisis.
Here are some of the other ways you can get help if you are experiencing a mental health crisis:
Contact your community team
If you can't find your care plan, contact your community team during the day - 9am to 5pm - from Monday to Friday. Ask for your care co-ordinator or the person on duty.
