DABS PATHFINDER COUNSELLORS

All DABS PATHFINDER Counsellors are professionals who work in the fields of Childhood Abuse, Incest and Rape and they are committed to providing help and information to:

· Victims or survivors of childhood abuse, incest or rape.

· Partners, family or friends needing to know more about these issues, wondering if and how they can help and recognising that they may also need support.

· Voluntary and professional workers looking for information to assist clients or those they are working with, or who themselves are searching for training and courses.

The Counsellors will answer calls between 9am and 9pm if and when they are free.

We work within our Code of Ethics and Practice which covers aspects relevant to your contact with the DABS PATHFINDER SERVICE. A copy of this will be sent on request.

1. There is a 24-hour answer-phone service at the DABS PATHFINDER Office ~ 01255 675351 Calls to this number between 9am and 9pm may be answered personally; otherwise you will be invited to try later or to leave a message. Messages left with a landline telephone number will receive a call back as soon as possible. Unfortunately because of cost, messages left with a mobile number will not be returned but will receive a text message acknowledgement.

2. Generally the Help Lines are open 9am to 9pm ~ Seven Days a Week but they can never be constantly manned. If calls to a particular telephone number are not answered please try another; or leave a message on 01255 675351 and your call will be returned as soon as possible. The Counsellor you speak with is there to listen and help you access the most suitable assistance for you in your circumstances but our service is not intended to be telephone counselling or ongoing lengthy support. For such support go to the links page. You will receive basic information about child abuse, incest and rape and you will receive information on all the known helping facilities in your area; you will receive information on the issues you may need to consider if you wish to seek outside help and some questions you may find useful to ask when making your enquiries. Some of this information may be given on the phone but more will be sent by post or e-mail. This basic service is free.

3. If you would like to receive a comprehensive DABS Resource Pack containing information for your whole region and much more please contact DABS by phone on 01709 860023 or visit the DABS Site: www.dabsbooks.co.uk
