Support & Information Line

If you or a loved one are struggling with the emotional impact of a visible difference, our confidential Support and Information Line is here to help.

Our confidential Support and Information Line is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

We offer support calls – we can give you the time and space to talk about how you are feeling about your visible difference and the impact this has on your life and your mental health.

We offer information – we can explore the options for you from our range of Changing Faces wellbeing services and help you to decide what may be best for you, as well as signpost you on.
