SERVICE DETAILS
A free, confidential, phone service for anyone in Scotland experiencing low mood, depression or anxiety.
Open up when you're feeling down.
Sometimes our thoughts and feelings can overwhelm us to the point where it becomes difficult to cope with everyday life. You are not alone and recognising when you need support can be the first step towards good mental health and wellbeing.
The whole spectrum of life is reflected in the calls we receive to Breathing Space.
Depressed - You might find that feelings of sadness or hopelessness interfere with your daily life.
Lonely - Loneliness can come in many forms. You may feel isolated or feel you have little importance in other people's lives.
Stressed and anxious - Major life changes or a combination of seemingly less significant events can lead to stress and anxiety.
Suicidal - Issues relating to suicide or suicidal thoughts may be a concern.
Whatever your reason for calling, we're here to listen.
It helps to get some Breathing Space. You are not alone and talking about how you feel is a positive first step in getting help.
We are here in times of difficulty to provide a safe and supportive space by listening, offering advice and providing information.
So don't let problems get out of hand, phone Breathing Space, where experienced advisors will listen and offer information and advice.
Our advisors come from a range of mental health, counselling and social work backgrounds. There is an equal ratio of male to female advisors, who may be part-time or full-time.
Breathing Space is not a volunteer service.
