"I would like to say how much I appreciate the service and find it very helpful, after talking to Lifeline I feel relaxed and am able to sleep and start my day feeling great. Just being with a person really helps.“
"I talked to a woman this morning, who patiently listened and empathised. She genuinely listened at the highest level, looking to really understand and reflect my point of view, and did not hurry me off the phone. Because of that I was able to shift what had been bothering me for days. I feel so much better now, energised and able to concentrate on my goals for the day. She was great. Thank you for your service."
"At the beginning of 2018 I called Lifeline many times as I was in great distress due to discovering my husband is a high-risk gambler. Every time I called it was extremely helpful as I got to talk through the distress. We separated in May last year and going through the trauma and loss I was able to reach out to Lifeline on a few occasions. This year I have also called Lifeline but not as frequently. I am so grateful that Lifeline exists thank you so much.“
