SUPPORT – INFORMATION – ADVICE
The PMB Gay & Lesbian Network launched
KwaZulu-Natal’s first Gay & Lesbian Helpline on 6th July 2007.
The telephonic Helpline service provides callers with a range of
information and advice that is specific to gay and lesbian needs as well
as supportive counselling and referrals to those grappling with issues
related to their sexual orientation.
A feasibility study conducted by the Network in 2006 identified the need
for a Helpline as there are very limited services that are capable of
responding to the specific needs of gay and lesbian people in KZN
Midlands. The Helpline will address these needs.
“It was my personal experience of rejection and the lack of anyone to
turn to for support that motivated me to establish the Network.” said
Anthony Waldhausen, Director, PMB Gay & Lesbian Network. Now, with the
establishment of the Helpline, gays and lesbians will get the
understanding and support they so often desperately need!
The PMB Gay & Lesbian Network is proud of the dedicated team of
volunteers and psychologists and the support received from Lifeline in
the establishment of this Helpline.
The Helpline number is (033) 3426500 and will be in operation three days
a week from Friday to Sunday between 6pm-10pm.
Volunteer counselors, trained by Lifeline are available to assist callers during these times and provide a respectful and confidential service.
