Summary

Mental Health Matters provide a phone helpline, answered by a team of highly trained and experienced support workers who use counselling skills to provide you with emotional guidance and information. You might choose to call if: you are feeling low, anxious or stressed and feel talking to another person might help you cope; you are in extreme emotional distress and feel that there is nowhere else to turn; you are caring for another person and finding it difficult to cope. Contacting the helpline can give you a feeling of relief, wellbeing and peace of mind. You wonít be judged and the service is confidential unless it is considered that there is a risk to yourself or others. Calling 0300 330 5486 may not be free from all mobiles but is cheaper than calling 08001 070160. Calling 08001 070160 is free from a landline. For hearing or speech impaired people use 18001 before the number to use text relay.
