Someone to listen...

The Union wants to encourage good mental health at work amongst our staff team, however, we are unable to provide professional or emergency support, so we want to make sure you are aware of the places that can. Here is a list of contacts for mental health help and support for you to access.

If you feel like harming or hurting yourself or other people

  • Call 999
  • Go to your nearest Accident and Emergency (A&E)

If you need medical help fast but it's not a 999 emergency

NHS 111 is the free number to call. They can direct you to your local crisis support services, and offer health advice 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
