Connect (Leeds)

Connect is a telephone helpline open 6pm-2am every night of the year for people living in Leeds. The service provides emotional support and information for people in distress. People can ring who are in crisis, anxious, depressed or lonely. They will be offered non-judgemental and empathic support and information about other services, if requested. Connect supports people in crisis, as well as providing a preventative service, by supporting people before they reach crisis point.

In 2013 Connect Online was launched, where Leed's residents can get support through instant messaging. This service is open 6pm-2am every day.
