If you or somebody you know is no longer able to cope, or is at risk to self or others, immediate expert assessment and support must be sought. Neurospectrum is unable to provide this emergency specialist mental health support, but assistance can be accessed from other services listed below:
If the help needed can wait until at least the next day, the first point of contact should be with the registered General Practitioner; they will have an oversight of the medical history and should be able to arrange the right support with appropriate services.
When specialist support is already being provided through the NHS or another suitable provider, there should be a care plan in place that outlines the steps most conducive when there is a deterioration in mental health. This will also include the details of who should be contacted in a time of crisis.
If you are unable to find the care plan, or do not believe there is a care plan, please call the local crisis support service requesting help. This service should be able to offer timely assessment and support.
When there is a pressing concern of immediate risk of harm – either to self, or somebody else – you must phone emergency services on 999 and ask for help.
You can also go to your nearest Accident and Emergency department and request help. There are often on-call professionals that can provide timely mental health assessment and treatment.
