What people ask
What if I am in crisis?
If you are thinking of harming yourself, call the SADAG suicide crisis line on 0800 567 567 (free, 24 hours) or go to your nearest emergency unit. NuHealth Social is support, not emergency care.
Can I see a psychologist or counsellor?
Yes. Search the clinician directory for psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists, many of whom consult by video.
