Other helplines
If you’re not a university student, you don’t have a Nightline or your Nightline isn’t open at the moment, there are plenty of other places where you can find emotional support. For emergencies call 999.
The Helplines Partnership maintains a searchable directory of helplines providing support for anything that might be on your mind at
https://helplines.org/helplines/
We’ve listed some of the helplines and their contact details below. Some helplines are specialised in particular issues while others are more general, and not all of them are open 24/7, so check their websites for opening times, ways they can help and loads of information.
