SANEline is a national out-of-hours telephone helpline offering emotional support and information for people affected by mental health problems.
Mental health problems are far more common than is generally thought. In fact, one in every four of us will experience a mental health problem in the course of a year.
SANEline receives thousands of calls every year from people like you. Whether you are seeking information or the opportunity to share your feelings with someone, SANEline aims to give you the time and space to explore your situation, without judging or telling you what to do.
SANEline is part of the charity SANE, and is run independently of any NHS or other statutory services.

Anyone who is worried about their own mental health, or a concerned family member, friend, acquaintance or professional. Don’t be afraid to call.
