Free, Confidential and Ready to Listen
Launch library · evergreen read
Cost and privacy are common worries that stop people from reaching out, so it helps to know that these services are entirely free and strictly confidential throughout. This is worth sharing with anyone else who might need it too. It remains available whether it is a first call or a hundredth one. It is there for questions just as much as for genuine crises.
Nothing shared on a call is passed on without the caller's knowledge, and there is no charge for calling, whatever device or phone happens to be used. This is one of the easiest ways to find a caring, listening ear. It remains ready, any hour, for anyone who needs to reach out.
1800RESPECT is on 1800 737 732, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14, both free, confidential, and ready whenever you are, day or night. It is always worth reaching out, even just to talk something through. These services exist precisely for moments like this one. There is no wrong time to ask for a little support.
