The Amarant Helpline
In 1996, the Trust set up a special Helpline where women can receive confidential advice over the telephone. A team of nurses, who are specially trained to deal with the menopause, will answer any query, including dietary advice, questions about HRT, side-effects, symptoms and alternatives treatments. If you are experiencing symptoms like severe hot flushes, anxiety or irritation, or simply need more information, we can help. The Helpline currently receives around 1,000 calls a month: around 12,000 callers a year. Lines are open weekdays from 11am to 6pm. Calls are charged at the standard rate.

HRT Helplines
In addition to the Helpline, the Trust runs a series of recorded Advicelines. Calls cost 50p per minute. The pre-recorded tapes have been prepared by Mr Malcolm Whitehead, Chairman of the Amarant Trust and Consultant at King's College London and Dr Val Godfree, Deputy Medical Director of the Trust.

Amarant Publications
One of the longest established aims of the Trust is to provide women with objective, simple information about the menopause. We write and update leaflets that include new treatments, alternatives, premature menopause, menopause and hysterectomy. A new leaflet is being produced on weight gain and the menopause. If you need general information about the menopause, or more specific information about treatments, including HRT, then we have the information. We also provide names and addresses of menopause and HRT clinics all over the country.
