How does the booking work?
You can book a chat or phone appointment, whichever suits you the best. There are 30-minute and 50-minute appointment slots. You can make a reservation using an alias (the service asks for your first and last name, but you don't have to use your real name). We only use the contact information you provide to contact you.
When you book a chat appointment, you will receive a chat link in your email, from which you can access the conversation. When you make a phone appointment, we will call the phone number you provided.
Additionally, you can send us questions by e-mail at turvaverkko@naistenlinja.fi. You can also always reach us at our helpline at 0800 02400 or message us on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
