Help and Advice
Below are some contacts that can help answer any questions or worries you may have. All of these offer free and confidential advice (they won't tell anyone that you've called about). Quite often the answer is quite simple but do call as it's best to be sure even if you think you're question might be embarrassing or difficult to answer.
We have just set up this resource and will be adding other contacts and some information for you to download in the near future.
