Help for People Feeling Suicidal or at Risk of Self-Harm
We’re here to support you
If you’ve been to the A&E because of your mental health, you might feel scared, alone, or unsure of what happens next. Our Mental Health Safety Planning Team is here to help.
Who can get support?
If you live in East Berkshire and have attended A&E or Mental Health Integrated Community Service (MHICS) because you have had thoughts about ending your life and/or are at risk of self-harm, then this Service aims to support you.
How it works
You will be referred by East Berkshire Psychological Services (EPBS) or MHICS. The Mental Health Safety Planning Team will make contact 1-3 working days after the referral. The Team will work with you on a one-to-one basis for six sessions.
These sessions will involve listening and working with you to develop a Safety Plan, which includes;
- Working with you to increase connections and reduce isolation.
- Supporting you to identify and develop coping skills.
- Signposting you to other services and sources of support.
- Providing educational strategies to help manage situations that trigger self-harm or thoughts of ending your life.
