Text SHOUT to 85258

If your life is at imminent risk, call 999 for emergency help

Who are we?

Shout is the UK’s first free 24/7 text service for anyone in crisis anytime, anywhere. It’s a place to go if you’re struggling to cope and you need immediate help.

Shout is powered by a team of volunteers, who are at the heart of the service. We take people from crisis to calm every single day.

Shout exists in the US as ‘Crisis Text Line’, but this is the first time the tried and tested technology has come to the UK.

The anonymised data we collate gives us unique insights into mental health trends to help improve people’s lives.

If you’re experiencing a personal crisis, are unable to cope and need support, text Shout to 85258.

If your life is in imminent danger, please call 999.

We can help with urgent issues such as:

Suicidal thoughts

Abuse or assault

Self-harm

Bullying

Relationship challenges

We will always try to respond to texters as quickly as possible, however our responses will be longer at times of high demand. We will always respond to high risk texters as a priority. If you are at imminent risk call 999 and if you need another form of support, please review other support agencies here – https://www.headstogether.org.uk/get-support/
