Side by Side

Tap a star to rate

Side by Side is a free community built by Mind, the UK's leading mental health charity. You can join 24/7 anonymous conversations with others navigating anxiety, depression, or other mental health struggles. The platform is moderated to keep it safe, and you choose how much or how little to share, making anonymity a genuine option for people uncomfortable seeking face-to-face help.

This works well if you benefit from hearing how others experience similar challenges or simply having someone listen without judgment. The peer model means you're connecting with real people rather than bots or recorded content, which many find more validating than solo app-based approaches.
