People across Lincolnshire can now access confidential urgent mental health support through a new text service called ChatHealth. The service offers a discreet and accessible alternative for people who may find phone calls or face-to-face contact difficult.
ChatHealth has been developed to support individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the team aiming to respond to messages within two hours.
Two dedicated text numbers are available:
Adults (18+): 07312 263027
Children and young people (under 18): 07480 635303
After sending a message, users will receive an automated reply confirming receipt. Demographic details are requested, but people can choose to remain anonymous.
ChatHealth is available to anyone experiencing emotional distress or mental health concerns, including low mood, anxiety, overwhelming feelings, self-care difficulties, or thoughts of self-harm.
