Did you know it’s World Mental Health Day today?

Most days of the year, the RGP are called out when there are concerns for someone’s mental health.

Yesterday, for example, Response Team Officers dealt with three separate cases in which there were concerns for someone’s mental health. In two of the cases, it was necessary to detain the individual for medical assessment.

With that in mind, there are several local organisations to contact, should you or someone you know need help.

• Mental Health Crisis Service  111 (24/7)

• The Gibraltar Mental Welfare Society  +350 54710000

• GibSams  116 123 --  https://www.gibsams.gi

• Club House Gibraltar  +350 200 68423 --  https://clubhousegibraltar.com

• Childline: Freephone 8008, www.Childline.gi, info@childline.gi

Of course, the best help anyone can give is to keep an eye on friends and loved ones.
