Many of the services listed in this section are also included within other categories, as they provide support and help on a wide range of specific issues. Generally, a support group is a number of people who wish to meet and discuss issues to which they can all relate. A helpline is a contact telephone number for you to ring and speak with a support worker about issues that may be affecting you. Please note it is best to always check if there are charges to call, or whether it is a freephone number.
