If you're experiencing a personal crisis, are unable to cope and need support, text Shout to 85258.

If your life is in imminent danger, please call 999.

We can help with urgent issues such as:

  • suicidal thoughts
  • abuse or assault
  • self-harm
  • bullying
  • relationship challenges

We will always try to respond to texters as quickly as possible, however our responses will be longer at times of high demand. We will always respond to high risk texters as a priority. If you are at imminent risk call 999 and if you need another form of support, please review other support agencies here - https://www.headstogether.org.uk/get-support/
