Connect Counselling Extends Christmas Support Service

Connect, the Freephone National Counselling and Support Service for adults who experienced abuse in childhood, will, once again, extend its service to open every evening from Wednesday 17th December 2014 to Sunday 4th January 2015, from 6.00pm - 10.00pm.  Each year, Connect has noticed an increase in men availing of this service - very often to speak confidentially and anonymously with a professionally trained psychotherapist about experiences of childhood neglect and trauma.  The Christmas period can be quite an isolating and stressful time, and we encourage anyone to avail of the service which is Freephone 1800 477 477 to callers from the Republic of Ireland, and 00800 477 477 77 to callers from Northern Ireland / the UK.
