Something on your mind?

Forcesline is a free and 100% confidential helpline that completely independent of the military chain of command. Our experienced civilian staff provide a supportive, listening and signposting service for serving personnel and their families as well as former members of the Armed Forces. You can talk to us about anything including personal concerns, worries and problems. Where possible, we will give you factual information or 'signpost' you to appropriate ways forward, but we will not judge you.
Our telephone support line is available 365 days a year and can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The line is open from 1030am - 10.30pm (UK local time).
