Supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Callers
Samaritans Ireland. [No date]

This guide is written for volunteers to support them in providing a confidential, non-judgmental listening service to LGBT+ callers. It aims to advance their understanding of the circumstances and experiences of LGBT+ people in Ireland so that they may better understand the issues callers may be dealing with. In addition to the general reasons for someone calling, there are specific issues that LGBT+ callers may be facing.
