We can help with access to other support that may be available elsewhere. We would urge you to give us a call even if you aren’t sure if you need us and we can talk it through. We won’t judge, we won’t talk about faith unless you wish to, we will let you talk. To contact us call switchboard and ask for the duty Chaplain or call 8311 for the Chaplaincy Office at the Conquest or 4600 at EDGH.
