If you need help now

This page is for moments when waiting is not an option.

This site is not a crisis service. Nobody monitors it, and messages sent through it are not read urgently.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. Across the European Union that number is 112.

If it is an emergency

If you are in immediate danger, or you might act on thoughts of suicide, call your local emergency number now, or go to your nearest emergency department.
