Shout

Shout is the UK’s first free 24/7 text service for anyone in crisis anytime, anywhere. We offer in the moment help for times when life gets overwhelming and you need immediate support. We know that sometimes texting is easier when talking feels too hard and we can help with urgent issues such as suicidal
thoughts, abuse or assault, self-harm, bullying and relationship challenges.

Text Shout to 85258 for 24/7 support. It is free on the major networks, confidential and won’t show up on a phone bill. Shout is not the emergency services. Our Crisis Volunteers don’t provide clinical advice. Shout does not provide therapy or
long-term support

Every conversation is with a human being:

We are there for moments when life gets overwhelming and people need immediate support. We can help with urgent issues such as suicidal thoughts, abuse or assault, self-harm, bullying and relationship challenges. If a life is at imminent risk call 999 for emergency help

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