Tic+ Chat

Tic+ Chat (pronounced tic chat) is for young people aged between nine and 21 years old who need someone to talk to. It is funded by the county council and is commissioned jointly with Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group for the next 12 months (from June 2020)

This is a challenging time for everyone. We’ve all experienced sudden changes in our routines and are living with uncertainty. For some young people, the pandemic may also worsen or trigger anxieties they were already struggling with.

We want to let them know they are not alone and make sure they can access the support they need. They can speak to the friendly Tic+ Chat team about anything which is troubling them. No problem is too big or too small – the team won’t judge.

No appointment is necessary and the service can be accessed by calling 0300 303 8080, or via online text chat at the Tic+ website: https://ticplus.org.uk/ between the hours of 5pm-9pm Sunday to Thursday.

The launch of Tic+ Chat is part of a package of mental health support the county council is delivering to help people during the pandemic and beyond.
