The pilot 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
The service provides a timely (within approx. 30mins), non-clinical, community response to individuals experiencing social, emotional or situational crisis over a timeframe of 8pm on Thursdays through to 8am on Sundays.
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 7126 2300
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.
Please note: the pilot service operates between 8pm on Thursday through to 8am on Sunday.
Should you need to contact someone urgently, please call Lifeline on 0808 808 8000 or, the Samaritans or attend your local Emergency Department.
