Further Organisations offering support  

Crisis text service - Text CWHOPE to 85258 to start a free, confidential text conversation with a mental health professional, who can help you through the moment and guide you to the right support to help you going forward.

We are aware of an issue affecting some users on the Three (3) mobile phone network (plus providers using the same infrastructure, which may include Vodafone, iD and Smarty). Users are able to text CWHOPE to us but not reply to our messages. We are working Three and will post again when they have solved the issue.

We understand how frustrating it is to not be able to access support. If you are in a mental health crisis, call 111 (select Mental Health option) or take a look at other options on this page.
