Work Well is not a mental health service and we do not provide crisis support.
If you need help in a mental health crisis:
If you are in contact with a mental health service: Check your care plan, if you have one, and contact your care coordinator or the duty number for the team that is supporting you.
If you need urgent help: Call 111 to speak to the free NHS helpline for anyone with an urgent healthcare need. Tell them if you need a translator.
If you are with someone who has attempted suicide, call 999 and stay with them until the ambulance arrives.
For Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark see South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust website for details on crisis support: https://www.slam.nhs.uk/patients-and-carers/crisis-support
NHS Talking Therapies
Free NHS support is available. Speak to your GP or go direct to your local service.
To find your local service, search “NHS talking therapies” and your borough or county name, for example “NHS talking therapies Southwark”.
