Get Connected is the UK's free, confidential helpline for young people under 25 who need help and don't know where to turn.  Their service is available 365 days a year and young people can get in touch by phone, webchat, email, text message or use the online help directory, WebHelp 24/7, or download their new app www.getconnected.org.uk/app

When a young person gets in touch, one of 100 trained Helpline Volunteers offers emotional support and can let them know about further specialist help from a database of 10,000 trusted organisations (GC buy this data every year, updated monthly, so you can be sure that when you refer people to us we will be giving them the most up to date and relevant help information.)  This support helps them emotionally through those first steps to finding the help they need to prevent an issue becoming a crisis.

If you'd like to hear from young people about the difference Get Connected makes, please watch this 3-minute film:   http://tinyurl.com/nwlw7ky      

We need to get the word out to young people and adults working with young people about this important service so that they can always find the help they need.  Get Connected have some great free posters and wallet cards they would love to send you – if you’d like any please email Genevieve.hinchliff@getconnected.org.uk .
