Information by Royal College of Psychiatrists about staying safe. We all want to make sure that you know what help you can get to stay safe and how you can get it. We know that you may feel completely helpless - we’re just glad that you have taken the time to read this. In spite of feeling that you have no control over your life, there may be some things that you – and other people - can do to make things better. There will be people who really do want to help. You may know them already, like your family and friends, or they may be professionals who you have not met yet.
