Support Workers Listen Without Judgement
Launch library · evergreen read
Support workers are trained specifically to listen without judgement, no matter what someone shares or how long it has taken them to reach out. It applies no matter how someone decides to move forward from here. This is worth asking about directly, without any hesitation at all. It remains available whatever choice ultimately feels right for you.
This training means callers can speak honestly, without needing to prepare a perfect explanation or worry about how they will be received by the listener. This is worth remembering, whatever stage of the process someone is at. This is a genuinely reassuring thing to understand in advance. This is something worth clarifying early, even before deciding anything at all.
1800RESPECT is on 1800 737 732, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14, both available any hour with a genuinely open ear. Whatever you are feeling right now is reason enough to call. Reaching out is always a reasonable step to take, whenever you feel ready. You deserve the same care and patience you offer to others.
