About Shout

Shout is the UK’s first and only free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging service for anyone who is struggling to cope.

We have taken more than two million conversations with people who are sad, worried, lonely or suicidal and who need urgent, in-the-moment support.

As a digital service, Shout became vital during Covid-19, as one of the few mental health services able to operate as normal at this time. We have seen the need for our support remain high through the UK’s cost of living crisis.

You can text us any time, day or night, 24/7

Your messages with us are confidential and anonymous

It is free to text Shout from all major mobile networks in the UK
