How to contact the Trust
If you need urgent mental health support, you can find local and national support information on our urgent help webpages.
If you are in crisis or have thoughts about harming yourself or someone else call 999 for an ambulance or go to your nearest Accident & Emergency department.
The Samaritans offer emotional support 24 hours a day in full confidence. Call 116 123. If it’s not an emergency but you are feeling unwell and want advice and support, get in touch with your GP, who will talk it through with you and may refer you to someone else who can give you specialist help. If you use our services get in touch with your care co-ordinator, the person who looks after your care or the person from the team that you normally see. Their number will be in your recovery plan.

When you receive care from our services you will be asked to share information about yourself. This information is used to create records about your health, any treatment and care you receive from the NHS. These records can then be used to ensure that you receive the best possible care now and in the future.
Everyone working within the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you confidential. This is called information governance.
We will only ever use or pass on information about you if others involved in your care have a genuine need for it. We will not disclose your information to third parties without your permission unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as when your own or the health and safety of others is at risk or where there is a lawful reason for this information to be disclosed.
