Who the service is for
If you currently receive a service from a team at NELFT, such as a local community mental health team or a psychiatrist, then make contact with them as soon as you can. It may be helpful to refer to your care plan, which should have details of who to contact in an emergency.
If it is out of office hours or you don’t know who to contact, you should call NELFT Mental Health Direct
