Lifeline Aotearoa

Lifeline has been there for New Zealanders to relieve distress and prevent suicide for over 58 years. Our qualified counsellors and well-trained volunteers provide free and confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whatever the issue, we're here to listen.

We receive more than 10,000 calls & 30,000 texts are received & sent each month. Every day we help 15-20 people at risk of suicide.

It costs on average $36 to answer each call & with no government funding for this much needed service, we rely on the kindness & generosity of donations.
