Crisis Support

I need help now

When a person's mental or emotional state gets worse quickly, this can be called a mental health crisis or a mental health emergency. York Mind is not a crisis service - If you, a friend, or relative are in crisis or need urgent or emergency support, then our services may not be appropriate.
