How does it work?
ChatHealth is a confidential and anonymous text service for 11 to 19 year-olds available 9am-5pm every week day, excluding bank holidays. The text line stays open during the school holidays too. We guarantee that you will receive a response within 24 hours Monday to Friday. If you message at other times, we will send an automated out-of-hours message with details of where you can find support.
This service is totally confidential: we only share your information if we are worried about you or someone else’s safety or if you share information which may be concerning or put you or someone else at risk or danger.
Chathealth is not a crisis line, if you need urgent help call 111 and they will be able to support you.
