HELP

In Europe, calling 116 123 will always connect you to a mental health service. 

If you live in the USA call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to reach a 24-hour crisis center, or text MHA to 741741 at the Crisis Text Line.

If you or someone you know needs medical attention immediately, always call 999. (112 in Europe, or 911 in the U.S) If you want advice about an injury you can call 111 in the UK.
