## What is Solaces?

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone. Not to be fixed or judged. Just heard.

Solaces is a quiet place to do that. Tap once and we look for a real person who is free to listen. You chat by text, one to one, under a name made up for that chat. No profile, no photo, nothing following you around.

Free. Anonymous. Human.

What you'll find

• Someone to talk to. Everyday people who chose to give a stranger their time. Not a bot.

• Privacy built in. A fresh name in every chat, and the person you talk to doesn't see your name or email.

• Find your calm. Breathing rhythms set to music by composer Scott Buckley, with gentle nature sounds, for when talking feels like too much.

• Sleep. Soft music and slower breathing that fade out on their own.

• The Wall of Kindness. Little notes of kindness left by people on Solaces. Read a few on a hard day, tap This helped to say thank you, or leave one for whoever needs it next.

• Be someone's listener. Switch on Be a listener when you have a moment, and you might be the person someone needed today. A short guide shows you how.

• Help beyond a chat. Free support lines and local services, one tap away.

Good to know

Solaces is peer support. It isn't therapy or a crisis service, and listeners aren't professionals. Someone may not be free the moment you reach out, so there can be a wait.

If you or someone else is in danger, call your local emergency number. In the UK, call 999, or Samaritans on 116 123.

For people aged 18 and over.
