Christmas can be a tough time for many people. If you're finding things difficult this holiday season, please know that you're not alone. There are many helplines and support services available to help you through this challenging time.

At Christmas there’s a lot of pressure to be perfect and have it all. We see adverts showing happy families in matching PJ’s, having fun, opening lots of gifts, eating beautifully cooked food.

Nobody is having a drunken row, struggling with life, debt or feeling lonely in these adverts. It could be your first year without a beloved family member or friend, or too many years.

Remember it's ok not to be ok 💜

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. There are amazing helplines and support services available 24/7, offering a listening ear and guidance.

📞Samaritans: 116 123 (24/7) - Confidential emotional support for anyone struggling to cope.

📞Mind: 0300 123 3393 (9am-6pm Mon-Fri) - Information and support about mental health problems.

📞National Domestic Violence Hotline: 0808 2000 247 (24/7) - Support for anyone experiencing domestic abuse.

🗨️Shout: 85258 (24/7) - Text-based support for anyone in crisis.

📞CALM: 0800 55 55 55 (5pm-midnight Mon-Fri, 10am-midnight Sat-Sun) - Confidential support for men who are struggling.

No one should have to face Christmas alone. Share this post, spread the word, and let's make sure everyone feels supported and cared for this festive season. 💜

National Su***de Prevention Helpline UK offers supportive listening and information to anyone having thoughts of su***de, including family, friends and carers of those having thoughts.

We are open every day of the year on 0800 689 5652. Anybody is welcome to call us if you need to talk, or want support.
Our helpline is here to support you when you feel you need us. This can be different for everybody – some people can reach that point daily, and for some people it is a rare occurrence.

Our helpline volunteers are empathic and non-judgemental, providing a space and time for you to talk about how you are feeling or somebody close to you.
The helpline is a confidential service for those aged 18 or over.
