SHOUT 85258

  • https://www.headstogether.org.uk/programmes/give-us-a-shout/
  • Shout is a free text messaging service which provides 24/7 support for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis. It aims to connects people in need to trained volunteers who provide help at a time when it is most needed; enabling them to move from a moment of crisis to a calm state and form a plan for next steps to find longer-term support. As texting is private and silent, it opens up a whole new way to find help.
  • It provides instant support – you can have a conversation at any time, at school, at home, on the bus, anywhere. This service is for everyone, but for younger people especially; texting is a trusted and familiar form of communication, and using text rather than apps makes it simple and accessible for everyone with a phone.
