Mental Health Support
Always 100% free, for everyone
This section is free whether you pay for Tradievo, are on a free trial, or do not have an account at all. Support should never sit behind a paywall, and it never will here.
Josh, the founder of Tradievo here.
I know how tough life in the trades can be sometimes. Long days, pressure, money worries and trying to keep everything together can build up pretty quickly. And sometimes it’s not work at all — relationships, family problems, loneliness or other things going on in your personal life can hit just as hard.
Whether you’re here just having a look, trying to understand a bit more about mental health, or you’re genuinely looking for some help, we’re here to support you however we can.
This section is completely free and always will be. Below you’ll find trusted helplines and support services with real people who are there to listen and help.
If things are getting a bit much, you don’t have to deal with it all on your own.
If you are in immediate danger
If you or someone else is at immediate risk, call 999 now. For urgent mental health help, call NHS 111 and choose option 2, or call Samaritans free on 116 123 at any hour.
