Description
Threshold Women's Mental Health Infoline has been running since 1998 and has now responded to over 6000 national telephone enquiries and sent out over 80,000 factsheets. It was set up by Threshold Women's Mental Health Initiative, which has provided local mental health services to women on low incomes in Brighton and East Sussex for over twelve years. Threshold is a charitable organisation, run by women for women to promote women's positive mental health.
Threshold's Infoline service was awarded 3 years' funding by the Community Fund in July 2003 and is now offering an expanded telephone and information service to callers throughout the UK.
Whilst the Infoline is an information and referral service, all women who answer the phone are trained in counselling skills and are able to support women to access information and other services if they are calling in distress.
