An emergency messenger service for a mental health crisis
| It can be hard to know where to get support if you, or a young person you know, is in a crisis with their mental health. That’s why our new YoungMinds Crisis Messenger service provides free 24/7 crisis support across the UK. |
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis you can text YM to 85258. You’ll be connected to a trained volunteer in less than 5 minutes, who will listen, help you think through how you’re feeling, and aim to help you take the next steps towards feeling better.
A mental health crisis could include:
- Suicidal thoughts
- Abuse or assault
- Self-harm
- Bullying
- Relationship breakdown
