Helplines – Heads Above The Waves

Find resources to help manage your mental health

Home > Helplines

Are you having a bad one? Don’t panic! Firstly, take a deep breath. (I know people keep saying that, but it actually works…) Secondly, take a second to read this bit.

We’re not a 24-hour helpline, and we’re not trained mental health professionals, but there are plenty of people out there who not only really know their stuff, but they care about you and they want to help you get through it. You are not alone.

Heads Up: If this is an emergency or if you’re worried that you or someone you may know may be at risk of suicide, call 999 immediately and let them know.
