Need Help Now?

MindOut is not a crisis service and most of our services run on an appointment only basis.

If you, or someone you know, is in crisis and you cannot access support from mental health services or your GP, you can go (or direct the person you know) to the A&E department at the Royal County hospital. You can ask A&E for an emergency mental health referral.

You may find the following services useful:
