The Community Crisis Intervention Service (CCIS), is a community-led initiative, which responds to individuals who are observed to be in distress and potentially vulnerable, and who may be at risk of suicidal behaviour

- Thursday, 8pm–Midnight
- Friday, 6pm-3am

If you feel in crisis and need support or if you have observed someone who is in distress and may come to significant harm through self-harm and suicidal behaviour please call: 028 71 262 300
The service will provide support and offer a short-term solution to manage immediate crisis, which will include risk assessment, de-escalation, and identification of personal support options (friends/family) and other appropriate support and treatment services.
