Helpline Numbers - If You Need Someone To Talk To Over Christmas


I know that Christmas is not a happy time for everyone.

Man gazing at stars - Christmas helpline numbers - motherdistracted.co.uk
Sometimes you can feel really alone at Christmas

But there are people who care, and who want to help.

Here are the telephone numbers of a great collections of organisations who will do their best to help.

As a parent, I've a particular piece of advice to offer which was given to us by an experienced paramedic.  If you feel your child needs urgent medical attention, do not have any qualms about dialling 999 or visiting A&E. They would rather be safe than sorry.

I wish you a happy, healthy and safe Christmas wherever you are.
