Student Support
Every Night of Term Open for online listening only 8:30pm – 12:30am
With Level 5 restrictions in place, our resources have become slightly limited, and we will be unable to take phonecalls for the time being. We will still take calls via online listening here on our webstie, and will trial opening our lines half an hour earlier than usual at 8.30pm to try to compensate closing early at 12.30am.
Run By Students For Students
NiteLine is for you. We are a listening, support and information service run by and for the students of DBS, MU, NCAD, RCSI, TCD & UCD and their affiliate colleges. Our volunteers go through a rigorous training and screening programme based on the Samaritans model.
We’re here if you ever feel that you would like to talk to someone who will listen, accept and understand without judging. You can talk about anything; no problem is too big or too small.
