What does Shout Do?

Shout is available 24/7 to support people in crisis, whether they are depressed, overwhelmed, anxious or suicidal. Anyone can text ‘SHOUT’ to 85258 to connect with one of their 2,100 trained volunteers, who are on hand to help in their moment of need.

Since launch, they have supported more than 675,000 people through two million conversations. The cost of living crisis means that their service is needed now more than ever.

Their volunteers help people with all kinds of struggles, but the most common issues texters face are suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, loneliness and self-harm. Shout’s service is a safe and confidential space for people of all ages, with safeguarding policies in place to support all texters, including children and young people.

This incredible charity also provides a number of online resources to help you with any issues you are currently having.
