Mental health advice and support by phone or email

SANEline is a national, out-of-hours, daily mental health helpline offering specialist emotional support, empathy, guidance and information to anyone affected by mental illness. 

They support the individual and their family, friends and carers, particularly if they have reached a moment of crisis. 

If you would prefer to write down your feelings, you can email for help instead. 

SANE also offers Textcare, which provides a one-way, one-off message of advice and help. You can fill in a Textcare request and write down how you feel, and SANE will send you a response written specifically for you. 

All conversations are confidential and nobody will judge what you say. 

SANE does not charge for its services but your phone provider may charge you.
