Questions You Might Have
When you ring the Aware Support Line you will hear a recorded message and you will then be put through to the next available Volunteer. Our Volunteers are here to listen and support you, they understand that it may have been difficult for you to pick up the phone.
Our Volunteers will talk with you about what brought you to call the Aware Support Line today. In order to proactively help you, they may ask you some questions to better understand what is going on for you and to explore helpful options that may be available to you. We won’t ask you to go into detail about what has happened in the past: we focus on the present, acknowledging your thoughts and feelings and on identifying helpful actions.
Volunteers do not have the facility to ring callers.
