Helping People in the Midst of Crisis

in Partnership with the PSNI

Active Listening believe everyone in the midst of crisis should have someone they can talk to in confidence, without judgement and with the freedom to determine their next step.

Based in Northern Ireland, we receive referrals from the PSNI for adults in the midst of crisis. We offer face to face confidential listening and signposting.

Bringing hope to individual lives, homes and communities.

Active Listening is a compassionate, confidential and discreet Christian response.  We listen and support people in the midst of their crisis, encouraging them to take positive steps forward with hope.
