Noen å prate med — a chance to talk with a deacon
Do you have something on your mind that you would like to share with someone who will listen?
Do you need someone to talk to? You can speak with a deacon here at the library. Her name is Ann Kristin, and she is a deacon in the Kampen and Vålerenga congregations.
A deacon is someone to talk to, someone who listens when others have something on their mind that they need to share. It can be about anything: sad things, but also happy things. It might be about something that has happened in your life, relationships, or something you are worried about.
A deacon is not a therapist or psychologist, but someone to talk to. A deacon is bound by confidentiality and does not tell others what she has heard, except when it concerns matters that are punishable by law or situations where children are being harmed.
You do not have to be a believer or a member of the church, and there is no charge.
Sharing thoughts and words can make life easier.
