Calls to the men’s helpline are answered by someone you can talk to about most issues, including violence or sexual abuse you have been subjected to. You can also contact the helpline if you are concerned about someone you know or are related to. Voluntary helpline staff are trained to counsel callers in distress. It is also possible to contact the helpline via chat.

You can also talk about relationship issues, divorce and child custody or visitation rights problems, personal aggression and physical abusiveness, loneliness, isolation and conflicts, or other situations you are struggling with.
