Gay Switchboard Dublin : Helpline
Gay Switchboard Dublin’s provides a confidential telephone support service. We offer listening support and information to all our callers without being directive or judgmental. Our service is available to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, their parents, families and friends, and to anyone who has issues relating to sexuality.
The service is operated entirely by trained, friendly and supportive gay, lesbian and bisexual volunteers. They won’t judge or tell you what to do and nobody else will be told about your call.
If you're confused and need to talk, call our trained and dedicated volunteers in confidence on 01-8721055. The Helpline service is available Monday to Friday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
We are here to listen. We will not judge you. If you need to talk to someone, you can talk to us.
Coming out?
Are you coming to terms with your sexuality? Do you want to talk about your feelings? Do you feel confused or isolated?
Going out?
Do you need to find out where to go? Looking for sports groups, support groups or what’s on?
Staying in!
Have you fallen in or out of love? Is there anything you would like to ask us about sex? Are you concerned about your sexual health.
You don’t have to be gay, lesbian or bisexual to call us. Perhaps you have questions or concerns about your child, or you might want to talk to us about your friend, partner or spouse. Our volunteers will listen
“ I feel privileged that a caller may feel that he or she is in a 'safe place' and that they are able to share their feelings with me"
