Mental Health & Wellbeing
Sooner or later we all go through tough times. We might seem OK on the outside, but inside we're struggling. That's OK - you're not alone!
Anyone living in Hartlepool aged 16 and over can join Togetherall which is a safe, anonymous 24/7 online community where people support each other to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
That help can come in many forms. For some, it's simply seeing there is no judgement, knowing they are not alone in how they feel. For others it's receiving supportive comments, having conversations about similar life experiences, helping to break down barriers by normalising the discussion around mental health and wellbeing, enabling them to feel more in control of their emotional health.
Togetherall doesn't use real names and takes people's anonymity very seriously. It's monitored around the clock by licensed mental health professionals called Wall Guides, who interact with the community - members can reach out to them directly at any time.
Access to Togetherall for people living in Hartlepool has been made possible thanks to Hartlepool Borough Council partnering with Togetherall and it's completely free for anyone wanting to use it. This means that it is available to anyone accessing the Hartlepool Jobs & Skills Service.
Once people are a member they can use a range of tools and services. They can connect with other people who are experiencing similar thoughts and feelings, keep track of their thoughts in their own online journal, identity and work towards their goals, understand what they've experienced and track their progress.
They can also take part in online sessions – from improving their sleep to managing social anxiety and coping with grief and loss – where they can connect with others with shared experiences and share tips on what's working.
It only takes a few minutes to sign up to Togetherall - people give themselves an anonymous username, key in their Hartlepool home postcode and their date of birth and their journey to better mental health has begun.
