Alternative Support Resouces - Before it gets to a crisis

Here is a list of numbers and websites you can contact for support when most services are closed. It is a good idea to keep these numbers where you can find them when you need support or help. Services such as Breathing Space and the Samaritans offer a listening service. Social Work and the NHS are more appropriate if you need more than this.
