We are working in partnership with Shout to provide SMS text-based support for anyone of any age struggling with their mental health. This service is:
- Free
- Confidential
- Available 24/7
- Off-bill and requires no app, data, password, or registration
How does it work?
If you are feeling low, anxious, stressed or worried, text ‘Falkirk’ to 85258 to receive support!
Initially you will receive an automated response before being paired with a trained Shout volunteer- usually within 5 minutes of texting. The goal of the conversation is to help you, the texter, reach a calm and safe place, and support you to plan some positive next steps.
As well as listening without judgement, volunteers can provide further resources and tools for more expert support.
