If English isn’t your first language, we understand that it can be difficult to get the mental
health support you or your family needs. Here are some suggestions to help.
Use Google Translate to help with your conversation.
You can download free apps such as Google Translate to help you communicate with someone. You
can show them what you are trying to say on your phone.
At Shout, we offer a text message service, which means you don’t need to speak to
someone on the phone. If you text the word SHOUT to 85258 you can start a text
conversation. If you tell the volunteer that you don’t speak English and are using Google
Translate, they will work with you and help support you to feel calmer.
