The Mix
Support for under-25s on anything at all — mental health, money, housing, relationships, drugs.
Visit their website →Registered charity 1048995
The Mix covers the whole of a young adult's life rather than mental health alone, which matters because at 22 the thing making you desperate is often the rent, the job, or the relationship rather than a diagnosis.
Phone, webchat and a crisis text line, all free.

Is something here wrong?
A number that no longer works is the most serious thing that can go wrong on this site. If you have tried one of these and it did not connect, please tell us and we will check it the same day.
