What to expectwhen you call
You don't need the words
Nobody expects a coherent account. Saying that you don't know where to start is a perfectly good place to start.
It is confidential
These services do not report back to your family or your employer. They exist to be called by people who have nowhere else to take it.
Calling for someone else counts
If you are worried about another person and don't know what to do, these lines will talk it through with you too.
This directory lists independent organisations. Mindora has no relationship with them, receives nothing for listing them, and cannot answer for how they operate. If you find a number here that no longer works, please tell us so we can correct it.
