Every day 15 to 20 people at high risk of suicide call Lifeline
A further 300 calls and 700 texts are sent and received daily through Lifeline’s national 24/7 counselling service.
We support people of all ages with an enormous range of issues.
Many people struggle with loneliness and need a sense of connection. Some need to talk through relationship difficulties. Others need support for clinical mental health issues including addiction, anxiety and depression. Some are suicidal.
The demand for mental health support is ever-increasing yet Lifeline receives no government funding. To enable our counsellors to be there to answer each call, we need your help.
