Telephone Hotlines
If you are having a problem and you need HELP or advice there are national and local telephone helplines you can call. Phoning these numbers is normally free and private. The people you talk to are trained to be able to help you and you dont need to tell them who you are or where you live.
Because these numbers are free they shouldnt show up on your home phone bill but if you are worried about that you might want to call from a phone box or from a friends phone.
