IN CRISIS

If you find yourself in a crisis, it's important to know where to turn for help. In an emergency concerning your own physical or mental health, or that of a loved one,  please dial 999 or 111.

It's important to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness. If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling due to Long Covid symptoms, and maybe they are impacting on your mental health, there are several organisations and hotlines available for those in crisis, the links are below.

Consider reaching out to your doctor or a mental health professional for assistance.

We provide resources here that can also offer support.  

Long Covid is a complex illness that can affect every aspect of our lives.

Don't hesitate to seek help if you need it - remember, you are not alone
