Dear Friend
(to subscribe click here and scroll to bottom of page!)

Welcome to Lifeline's latest E-newsletter...

In this issue, Denis Bunbury responds to recent claims in The New Zealand Herald about antidepressant medication.

We've also tracked down a study by the University of Louisanna about the beneficial effects of chromium in our diet.

We keep you up to date with What's Happening at Lifeline, including news on our upcoming Kidsline Poster Competition.

There's plenty of ways to get involved and support Lifeline this month: You'll find details of the Breakfast Launch of Counselling Awareness week and how to purchase your copy of the new Entertainment Book.

Happy Reading

Best wishes

Bryan Wilshire
Chief Executive
