PeerChat - a new service for under 25s
If you're aged 16-25 and want to talk to someone who understands, you can connect with a trained volunteer through PeerChat from The Mix.
What is PeerChat?
Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who understands what you're going through.
PeerChat is an online chat service for people aged between 16-25. You’ll be matched with a trained peer supporter close to your age, who’s there to listen and talk things through with you.
PeerChat is run by The Mix, SHOUT’s sister organisation.
They support young people with any issue affecting their life.
What you can talk about
You can talk about anything that’s on your mind, including:
- feeling low, stressed or overwhelmed
- friendships or relationships
- school, college or work worries
- identity or self-esteem
- loneliness
- family problems
- or just having a difficult day
PeerChat is different from SHOUT’s text service.
- SHOUT is a 24/7 crisis support text line
- PeerChat is a scheduled online chat with a trained peer
- It’s for 16-25 yrs only
Ready to talk?
If you’re under 25, you can book a PeerChat session with The Mix.
