Needing Urgent Assistance with your Psychological and Mental Health?

This website is designed to be a routine service providing information and advice, and doesn’t deal with urgent or emergency mental health matters.

For urgent mental health support call 111 and press OPTION 2.

The service is available for people of all ages, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in all areas of Wales to ensure those in need of support can access it quickly when they need it most.

For urgent help that is not an emergency you should contact your GP in the first instance, who can refer you to the most appropriate mental health services. If outside of GP hours you should visit the out-of-hours GP at accident and emergency (A&E).
