    How do I put up an unregistered post? Step by step if possible?

    Just log out and direct yourself to the person issues board. Thney click new post and you have the option then of putting in a new (temp) username. You then have to enter in a code (to make sure you are not a spm bot or something!) and you work away then and write yoru post.

    All posts that are unregged have to be approved by a mod first!

    Best of luck!

    A good plan for all posters is to actually read the OP's post, then read the replies, before jumping in. Saves getting wires crossed.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    People posting unregged, please invent a name, otherwise it can be a pain in the bottom working out who said what if everyone is "unregistered"

    And **** i forgot to post unregistered :(

    Folks, if this happens, you have three choices.

    1. Edit your post, if you edit your post and title before anyone replies, you can DELETE the entire thread.
    2. Ask a PI mod to delete the thread.
    3. Be brave. :)

    This thread is here to help people because of a current need. It is not for discussion. However, if you know of any other counselling services, please add their details (with website if possible) to the thread.


    You will be aware of the Commission into Child Abuse report published this week. If you or someone you know would like to talk to someone there are some helpline details listed here.

    If you would like face-to-face in the short term, your local doctor probably has a list of local counsellors. You may also be able to get in contact with counsellors who specialise in helping people deal with child abuse from various sources.

    Rise in calls to helplines

    Organisations that counsel victims of child abuse have been dealing with an increase in the number of calls to their helplines.

    The surge follows the publication yesterday afternoon of the report detailing the abuse suffered by thousands of children in residential institutions.

    Counselling services said the publication of the report had opened old wounds for many, and they received calls from people who had never spoken of their abuse before.

    The services had extra straff on duty to deal with the increase in calls to their helplines.

    The report, of almost 3,000 pages, details how thousands of children in residential institutions run by religious congregations lived in a climate of fear.

    Later this month a report on clerical sex abuse in Dublin is due out.

    It is expected to highlight the torment of thousands more victims and helpline providers say they will be putting on extra staff then as well.

    The HSE offers a free National Counselling Service for anyone who has suffered childhood abuse on 1800 235 234.

    The related Connect service, for out of hours contact, is on 1800 235 235 from the Republic of Ireland (freephone) 00800 235 235 55 from Britain and Northern Ireland (free from landlines).

    Dublin Rape Crisis Centre operates a 24-hour helpline on 1800 77 88 88.
