Breathing Space

Breathing Space is a free*, confidential phone line you can call when you're feeling down. You might be worried about something - money, work, relationships, exams - or maybe you're just feeling fed up and can't put your finger on why.

Sharing your feelings with your friends or talking with your family can be difficult - pretending everything is ok seems by far the easiest way to deal with things. Maybe you're afraid to let down your guard and tell those close to you whats really on your mind - you don't want to worry them, or perhaps you just don't know how to explain to them the way you are feeling.

That's why you might want to talk to the people at Breathing Space. They're available to listen to you when you're feeling low. They can offer advice, or suggest people who can help you with more specific problems.

The service is completely confidential and it's a free* phone number 0800 83 85 87 so it won't show up in your phone bills.

There are people at Breathing Space to listen to you every night from 6pm - 2am, when you're wide awake and running over problems in your mind.

So the next time you're feeling down, it might help to get some Breathing Space.

Call us on 0800 83 85 87 (minicom 0800 31 71 60)
