Letting us know you need help is perfectly normal and we believe all of our team should be able to talk freely about their mental health and wellbeing.
 
If you’re worried about your mental health and wellbeing there are a number of things you can do:

If you are in immediate danger / risk of harm:
If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, or risk of harm you can call 999 (or 112 from a mobile). 

 
To find out more about the mental health and wellbeing support you can access:
See the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB health and wellbeing site.
