"In Touch" is a free after hours phone support line for people who use mental health services and feel the need to talk to someone who understands.
The people on the end of the "In Touch" phone have all used mental health and/or addiction services so they understand how you might be feeling. They are non judgemental and can provide that listening ear when you're feeling scared, lonely or anxious. They won't solve your problems but they can provide tips and strategies for dealing with the issues you may be experiencing.
Our phone line staff are volunteers. They undergo a training programme designed to build their communication and listening skills. They know how to help you work through your issues and can refer you to expert agencies if needed. They learn the importance of being non judgemental and confidential, and will not discuss your issues with anyone except in specific crisis situstions.
