Mindline South West Text and Chat

We’re really exited to launch Mindline South West Text and Chat on 1st August.

Free, confidential mental health support, whenever you need it.

Mindline South West Text and Chat is a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week text and webchat service offering confidential mental health crisis support, offering translation including BSL. It’s run by Mind in Somerset, working in partnership with local Minds across the South West of England.

If you’re struggling with your mental health and live in Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Wiltshire, Bath, Bristol, Swindon or Gloucestershire, we’re here for you — day or night.

What to expect

Every message is answered by a trained member of our support team. We treat everyone with equality, dignity and respect, and without judgement — whoever you are, whatever you’re going through. Our staff keep the focus entirely on you; they won’t share details about themselves or their own experiences.

Beyond the immediate crisis, we can help you find local crisis intervention services and put you in touch with your nearest Mind for ongoing support.
