There are a range of support people and services in the community that can help you if you are feeling depressed.
A good starting point is your GP (family doctor). They can provide advice and can refer you to specialist services where needed🧑‍⚕️
There are also a variety of free telephone helplines and counselling services available:

📱 1737 Need to talk? - Call or text 1737
📞 The Depression Helpline - 0800 111 757 or text 4202
📱 Lifeline - 0800 LIFELINE 0800 543 354 or text 4357. and
📞 Lifeline Suicide prevention - 0508 TAUTOKO or 0508 828 865
📱 Samaritans - 0800 72 66 66
These are all available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
There are also freephone helplines especially for children and young people, including Youthline (for 12-24 year olds) and What’s Up (for children and teenagers). Youthline is available 24/7 and What’s Up is available any day from 11am to 11pm.
