Talk to someone, anyone

Young people who have experienced anxiety all agree on one thing: talking to someone and getting support helped them a lot, and made them feel less alone.

If you don't want to talk to someone you know, find some mental health or anxiety support services that you can call or text.

Get support from people who've been there

If you're not sure who to chat with, or how to do it, we've got you. Anonymously connect with other young people on the ReachOut Forums and share what you're going through, offer your support, or simply read about other people's experiences. The forums are a safe, online community that supports each other through the highs and lows.
