If a child or young person needs urgent medical help, then call 999 or take them to the nearest Accident & Emergency (A&E). This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk. A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a physical health emergency. If a child or young person needs urgent mental health support or advice, visit the NHS urgent mental health page to find services in your area, including 24/7 mental health crisis support. If a child is currently being supported by Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services (sometimes known as CAMHS), Paediatric Services or Children’s Social Care then talk to them if you are worried about the child. If you are not sure what to do, you can contact your GP for advice or check NHS 111 online.
