Of the 365 days of the year, some are lonelier than others.
Christmas and New Year is a hard time of year if you’re dealing with grief, financial distress, mental health conditions or a relationship breakdown. Not everyone has a family to spend time with.
It’s also a time of year when doctors might be away and mental health services are closed for holidays. It’s just so important that Lifeline can respond to Queenslanders feeling overwhelmed and isolated.
Kellie
- Retired from corporate career and wanted to give back.
- Mother and grandmother.
- Lifeline Crisis Support Volunteer for 3 years.
“For someone like me who still lives with anxiety, I understand how important it can be to know that someone is going to pick up the phone and be there to listen and support you when you don’t know what else to do. It really can be a lifeline.”
Your donation could help a Crisis Supporter like Kellie answer calls to 13 11 14 this Christmas.
Robert
- Team leader, trainer and mentor.
- Service Lead at Lifeline Crisis Supporter Centre, Southport.
“Every time I go on the phone, I’m reminded of why I’m with the program. I still leave shifts feeling enriched, fulfilled, having a full heart. We’ll have volunteers who intentionally do shifts on Christmas day or in the period between Christmas and New Year’s because it feels special for them to be there for help-seekers at that time.”
Your donation could help recruit more Crisis Supporters to meet increased need at peak times like Christmas.
Jaine
- Long career working with children and families.
- Lifeline Queensland Statewide Manager, Crisis Intervention and Recovery.
“Loneliness is not a small issue simply because it may look different from other forms of crisis. Loneliness and isolation can cause very real distress. Whatever is happening for you, it matters. Reaching out can be an important first step. Lifeline is there to listen without judgement and support you through what you are experiencing, including over Christmas and New Year.”
Your donation can help Lifeline take care of Crisis supporters – with ongoing training and wellbeing support – so they are resourced to do their important and sometimes difficult work.
It's the loneliest time of the year.
Your donation today can help make sure everyone has someone to connect with.
Government funding doesn't cover the full cost of keeping Lifeline running. You can help make sure that whether someone needs support at 3am, Christmas day or New Year's eve, Lifeline can be there for them.
Your generosity helps:
Keep trained Crisis Supporters there to answer calls, texts and online chats, 24/7
Reach more people through safe, confidential online support
Give people in crisis practical tools to get through the moment safely
Back the suicide-prevention programs that help stop a crisis before it starts
Provide more Crisis Support volunteers with 170 hours of tailored training
Take Lifeline's support to more Queensland towns, communities and events
You can help make sure Lifeline is there 24/7 for everyone who needs it. Donate today.
