We know that finding the right support is important, especially if you need someone to talk to right now. We aim to connect every texter to a trained volunteer in less than five minutes any day, any time to provide crisis help. They will listen to you and provide nonjudgmental and empathetic support so that you can find the right next step to feel better.
How does our text message support service work?
The trained volunteer will introduce themselves, reflect on what you’ve said, and invite you to share at your own pace. You’ll text back and forth, only sharing what you feel comfortable with. By asking questions, listening to you and responding with support, they will help you sort through your feelings until you both feel you are now in a calm, safe place. You might be provided with some signposting to other services offered by our partner organisations, so that you can continue to get support.
Our text message support service could help with urgent issues such as:
- Dealing with issues in school
- Bullying
- Suicidal thoughts
- Abuse or assault
- Self-harm
- Relationship breakdown
