Get mental health support
We all have good days and bad days. Then there are those days when something isn't quite right, you've got something on your mind, or things just seem too much.
It can make a real difference having someone to talk to. To hear what you have to say. And to give you advice.
Our free mental health services help connect you to that person.

They worked with people who use digital mental health, mental health experts and industry to make sure that accredited services pay attention to the things that keep services safe.An accredited service keeps your information private and they will ask for your feedback to make the service better. They also make sure their services are based on strong evidence.
A service gets accredited by an approved agency that has been trained to check for safety and quality issues. They check evidence to show the service meets the Digital MentalHealth Standards so you can know that the service keeps people safe.
