Emergency Support
Beehyve is not a contact for emergency support. This is because your safety is critical in a time of crisis. You must seek dedicated emergency support in case we are unavailable or unable to help. Below are places you can find help.
Call 111 in an emergency
If you’re seriously concerned about your own or someone else’s immediate safety:
Call 111 or go to the Accident and Emergency Department (A&E) at your nearest hospital.
Phone your nearest hospital, or your district health board’s psychiatric emergency service or mental health crisis assessment team.
Remain together and safe until support arrives.
