NSPCC/Childline Operated by the NSPCC, Childline is the main helpline for children and young people to get help, advice and support on a huge range of matters including bullying, abuse and so much more. Children can contact using a freephone number (0800 1111), email or online chat with a 1-2-1 counsellor.

Communities in Essex have access to a wide range of support resources. However, it is not always easy to find what you are looking for with so many services, directories and sites aimed at signposting you to the right support.
In response, ECC have created this list of directories for services in Essex, with the aim of making the current systems easier to navigate so that we all know where to look for support, advice and guidance relating to emotional wellbeing and mental health.
