What kind of help do you need?

Need Urgent Help or Support?

If you are distressed or experiencing despair, try to speak to somebody now.

  • Is there a family member or a friend you could call?
  • Is there a neighbour or colleague who can help?

If you or anyone else is in immediate danger or harm, then please call the Police or Ambulance Service on 999.

Do you need medical or mental health help now?

If so, then it is crucial that you contact the right person - most likely your GP. They will help you to get specialist help. If your GP surgery is closed, their answerphone will direct you to the right place.

Call NHS 111 if you need medical help or advice that is not life-threatening.

Get 24 hour support

If no-one is available when you need help, or you'd like to speak to an impartial person in confidence, you can contact the Samaritans for round-the-clock support. You can phone 0114 276 7277 (local call charges apply) or their national telephone: 116 123 (this number is free to call). You can email them on jo@samaritans.org. If you want to speak to someone face to face you can visit their drop in at 272 Queens Rd, Sheffield, S2 4DL (available 10am til 10pm).
