Starting a conversation

Text the word ‘Shout’ to 85258 to start a conversation with a trained Shout Volunteer. You only need to share what you feel comfortable with and our volunteers will work with you to take your next steps towards feeling better.

We will always try to respond to messages as quickly as possible, but responses can take longer at busy times. While you wait, please take a look out our online resources.

We will always respond to high risk texters as a priority. If you are at imminent risk, please call 999.
