What is a crisis?

The term ‘mental health crisis’ means that a person is in a mental or emotional state where they need urgent help. Mental health crises may take the following forms:

suicidal behaviour or intention
panic attacks/extreme anxiety
psychotic episodes (loss of sense of reality, hallucinations, hearing voices)
other behaviour that seems out of control or irrational and is likely to endanger the self or others

What are Crises services?

A crisis service is any service that is available at short notice to help a person to resolve a mental health crisis, or to support them while it is happening. These services can range from telephone helplines and crisis resolution and home treatment (CRHT) teams and hospital acute wards.
