From the JTeen website:

The JStudent Supportline [is] a dedicated resource for Jewish students needing emotional support. Our mission is to provide a safe, confidential space for students to seek emotional support either with our text line or phone line.

Our volunteer counsellors and therapists are there every evening from 6-midnight to offer you anonymous and confidential support.

With so many students facing antisemitism, work pressures and day to day struggles we are here to help support and empower you with whatever challenges you might be facing.

Jewish teens aged 11 to 20 and students up to age 24 can text/WhatsApp 07860 058 823, or call 0800 915 4646.
