Free mental health support in Manchester

From a demanding working week to settling into a new city, life in Manchester can bring both connection and difficult days. You don’t have to face those days on your own.

My mental health offers free online peer support for people in Manchester and across the UK. There’s a room just for Manchester, and the topic rooms are shared UK-wide. We are not a local clinic or an emergency service.

A conversation that meets you where you are

Choose the Manchester room, or pick a topic that fits. Sign in or create a free account, then join a room to read and share messages with other members. Peer support is not professional treatment.

Small steps between conversations

A quiet pause, a short walk if it’s comfortable for you, or a message to someone you trust can be a gentle starting point. Our advice and journal offer space to reflect, without replacing care.

You’re welcome, wherever you live

You don’t need to live in Manchester to join the Manchester room — anyone in the UK is welcome. The topic rooms bring members from both cities and beyond together. For questions about the community, get in touch.
