Listening Ear

About this service

Listening Ear provides a broad mix of mental health and practical community support in Newtownabbey. The borough support pages describe help with mental health and suicide prevention, drug and alcohol advice, benefit and housing guidance, and community programmes such as a community fridge and inclusive social groups.
