Mensline Free Telephone Counselling Service

The service is basically for men, but they do take calls from women seeking advice, especially relating to relationship breakdown and violence from their partner.
Men'sline is a diverse group of ordinary men who are aware of the problems faced by men in today's society. They believe in the importance of having someone to talk to if you are experiencing family relationship breakdowns, ill health grief, despair, or just find yourself devoid of feelings or unable to express or communicate your feelings to others. Many of the Men’sline Counsellors know the problems of being fathers, or the emotional turmoil of relationship break-up, for they have been there!

Men'sline is not, and doesn't try to be, another welfare organisation, rather they operate on a personal level. With many of their counsellors at one time or another having been a caller to Men'sline and wanting to put something back.
This is their strength, a peer support system, by 'ordinary' men who have an understanding and capacity for care, mutual support and insight into each other's feelings and experiences of life.
