Text messaging support service - Sussex

If you are struggling to cope and need immediate help, text the word SUSSEX to 85258 to access the free, confidential, 24/7 service to have a conversation with a trained volunteer.

The volunteers offer real-time support to people who are anxious, stressed, depressed, suicidal or overwhelmed and needing someone to talk to.

We will always try to respond to texters as quickly as possible, however our responses will be longer at times of high demand. We will always respond to high risk texters as a priority. If you are at imminent risk please call 999.
