About Us

FAOISEAMH HELPLINE was set up by CORI (Conference of Religious of Ireland) in 1997.

The purpose of the Helpline was to provide listening, and if required, face-to-face counselling for survivors of abuse committed by religious. The service is now available to survivors who were abused by religious or diocesan personnel.

The service is independent of CORI.

The Helpline is staffed by independent lay telephone counsellors and is a completely private and confidential service.

The operational hours of the Helpline are: –

Monday and Wednesday 11.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m.

Friday 11.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.

An answering machine service is available at all other times and any messages are followed through on next ‘open day’.
