Get Further Mental Health Support

Thank you for being part of our community. We are committed to providing valuable resources and support for mental health and neurodiversity through our website. However, it is important to clarify that Meltdownerz is not a mental health crisis service.

In Case of a Mental Health Crisis

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, it is crucial to seek immediate help from appropriate emergency services. Here are some recommended steps and resources:

  • Call Emergency Services: Dial 999 if you are in immediate danger or require urgent medical attention.
  • Visit Your Nearest A&E Department: If you need urgent care and cannot wait for an appointment, go to your local Accident & Emergency (A&E) department.
  • Contact Your GP: If it is not an emergency, but you need medical advice, contact your GP for support and guidance.

Crisis Support Resources

  • Samaritans: Call 116 123 for 24/7 confidential emotional support.
  • Shout: Text "SHOUT" to 85258 for free, confidential crisis text support, available 24/7.
  • NHS Mental Health Services: Visit www.nhs.uk/mental-health for information on accessing urgent mental health services.

Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. While we aim to provide helpful information and resources, please reach out to these services in times of crisis to receive the urgent care you need.
