Mindline is an out of hours helpline in Somerset that is a confidential listening service providing a safe place to talk if you, or someone you know, is in distress. We can also give basic information about mental health and local services.

Mindline Somerset can be reached on 01823 276 892.

Our listeners treat all callers, regardless of background, in a non-judgmental way with dignity and respect. When our lines are busy, or closed, our switchboard can connect you to our sister service, the Samaritans.

As well as listening to your issues we can also give information about;

• local services
• how to get help
• basic information on mental health issues.

With Open Mental Health, we are able to offer out-of-hours support for anyone who feels like they are really struggling with their mental health. Instead of going to A&E, making an urgent doctor’s appointment or suffering in silence, you can visit one of our offices across Somerset in Bridgwater, Yeovil, Shepton Mallet, Taunton, Wells and Glastonbury. There you will find a supportive member of staff who will be willing to listen and be able to help you with your problems, whatever they may be.
