Urgent Help
Urgent Help
I need help immediately where should I contact?
Here are some crisis and support contacts for urgent situations, as Supportive Counselling is not a crisis service.
Are you or someone else in immediate danger?
If there has been a serious injury, someone is feeling suicidal, or an overdose has occurred, or if you feel unable to ensure safety for yourself or someone else, please call 999 immediately.
