Relationships take time to build and inappropriate friendliness can sometimes be a sign of a hidden agenda. Our ministers have telephone numbers and many of them have e-mail addresses as well. The SEC Telephone Helpline Counselling Service is there for anyone who would like to talk in confidence to a trained Adventist counsellor. Feel free to call on your own behalf, or to give the following number to someone else who could use the service. 0345 413602. The service operates on Monday evenings 6.30-9pm, at other times someone will return your call.
All calls are dealt with professionally and in the strictest confidence, no names are necessary.
Of course in some cases you might not want to speak with a minister. In this case you can always contact The Samaritans . They always have trained counsellors available, have great experience of problems similar to those you may have had, and can guarantee confidentiality.
