From today, The Mix's 1-2-1 helpline service will be moving to email and webchat only. Previously, you could contact the helpline by phone as well, but it will be completely text-based moving forward.

You can still contact The Mix and get support from all our other channels:
- discussion boards
- support groups
- text-based 1-2-1 helpline (email, webchat)
- crisis messenger
- counselling
- info section of our website
And other organisations that do offer phone helplines, like:
- Samaritans - 116 123 (24/7)
- CALM - 0800 58 58 58 (5pm - midnight, every day)
- Mind - 0300 123 3393 (9am - 6pm, Mon-Fri)
- Sane - 0300 304 7000 (4pm - 10pm, every day)
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.
