A crisis is where you feel out of control or unsafe. You might be in difficulty or danger, or at a risk to yourself or others. This may include wanting to harm yourself or having seriously harmed yourself (such as overdosing).

For Ambulance, Police, and Fire Services, call 999.
If the emergency is on campus or in University accommodation, contact the University Security Services emergency number on 0113 343 2222 (available 24 hours a day).

Frequent mental health crises
If you are having frequent mental health crises, it may be helpful to refer yourself to our Student Counselling and Wellbeing service. A mental health advisor can discuss how you are managing your condition and how you can get support and treatment. To register for an appointment, please complete the online registration form.
If you have non-urgent concerns about your mental health or wellbeing, please contact scw@leeds.ac.uk.
Remember, talking therapy may be helpful once your immediate crisis is over and you can reflect.
