What is Nightline?

Nightline is wonderful service, that is run by students for students.

The team are there to listen and provide information to all Hope students, whether you’re based at Hope Park, Creative Campus, Aigburth Park, or are a non-residential student.

Nightline focuses on five key principles:

– Confidential: Complete confidentiality is upheld at all times. Any conversations won’t be shared beyond you and the volunteers, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

–  Anonymous: You will stay completely anonymous, as will the volunteers. You won’t even feel pressured to tell them your name!

– Non-advisory: The Nightline team are there to listen absolutely anything, and definitely won’t tell you what to do.

– Non-directive: The volunteers will encourage you to talk freely, about whatever subject that you want. They won’t try to steer the conversation.

– Non-judgmental: You will always be listened to, and you’ll never be made to feel like you’re being judged. Remember, it’s okay not to be okay.
