What to do in an emergency
If you are seriously concerned about someone's immediate safety:
- call 111 or take them to the accident and emergency department (A&E) at your nearest hospital
- phone your nearest hospital, or your district health board's psychiatric emergency service or mental health crisis assessment team
- remain with them and help them to stay safe until support arrives.
