HELP FROM ... Get Connected

Get Connected is a free UK-wide email and telephone helpline service for young people. Two-thirds of the helpline workers are under 30 and all have been trained. They explain the options young people have and, if they have been contacted by phone, can provide a free connection to services on their database or text information to young people's mobiles.

The service runs from 1pm to 11pm every day and outside of these hours a web site, www.thesite.org.uk, offers information too. The main issues dealt with by the helpline include relationships, emotional problems, mental health, abuse, and running away.
