I've seen a lot of friends posting the following message about a new mental health crisis line number 116 123. It isn't new, it's the number for the Samaritans, who are an excellent volunteer run organisation. That number will never show up on a phone bill, so you can call on behalf of yourself or a friend in total confidence.
There are some other great resources available too. In Devon and Sonerset there is a first response team who can be contacted via phone or web. Links in comments.
Mindline and Shout are also useful.
Stay well, check on a mate, and if anyone ever has a mental health wobble you are welcome to call or text me. ###
This is the message being shared:
116 123 is a phone number that recently went live in the UK to help people get help in a mental health crisis. This line is dedicated for anyone in need of mental health assistance of any kind. Its 116 123
May I please get 2 friends or family members to copy and re-post? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening.
call 116 123
Just two. Any two.
Say Done.💜
