December 23, 2020 Lifeline - 13 11 14 - Not just a crisis line
Eddie and I reflected on how many times we would have given out the number 13 11 14 over the years, both here in Colac, and also in Geelong.
Hundreds, is all we can come up with, yet we have NOT had a comprehensive chat about what LIFELINE actual is, and does for those in need.
We learn so much from Linda Holland, Community Engagement Coordinator & Suicide Prevention Services Coordinator (Lifeline) in the region, she is based in Warrnambool, however her role services the South West Victoria region.
This is a fabulous chat, and sheds a brilliant light on the COMPLETE role that this organisation performs.
Kids Helpline 1800 551 800,
Parent Line 1300 301 300 and
QLife 1800 184 527, are just a few you can find...
