New 24/7 mental health text service for Birmingham and Solihull

A new, round-the-clock mental health text service is now available to people living in BSol, offering free and confidential support at the touch of a button. The all-age service is a partnership between BSMHFT and Shout, the UK’s first 24/7 text messaging support service, powered by the charity Mental Health Innovations.

Anyone experiencing anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression, or other mental health challenges can text ‘Space’ to 85258 to connect with a trained mental health professional – anytime, anywhere.

The service is designed to be discreet and accessible, particularly for those who may not feel ready to speak on the phone or in person. Visit the BSMHFT website to learn more.
