Do I need a Crisis or a Non-Crisis Service?
Finding the right support for your situation
Crisis Services
A crisis service is a service that can support you if you need mental health support immediately. Examples of this might include:
- suicidal thoughts or planning
- severe depression or anxiety
- a significant personal loss or life change
- a recent trauma
Please note that if you are at imminent risk of suicide, a crisis service may call 000 on your behalf. Imminent risk means that you are currently planning to and/or intend to end your life.
Having suicidal ideation (thoughts), or thinking about suicide without planning/intent to end your life is not an example of imminent risk.
Non-Crisis Services
A non-crisis service is a service that can support you when you simply need someone to talk to. A service like this can...
- help you cope during a difficult time
- lend a listening ear
- let you speak to someone who has been where you are now (lived experience work)
- give you information about where to go next
