Lifeline Gippsland Shop - Wonthaggi

Welcome to Lifeline Gippsland Shop - Wonthaggi, located at 135 Graham Street. As an establishment and point of interest in Australia, our mission is to provide support to individuals in crisis, foster a resilient community, and prevent suicide through various crisis support and suicide prevention services. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to achieve our vision of an Australia free of suicide, where no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

Suicide is a devastating reality in our society, with approximately 3,000 Australians losing their lives to it each year, equating to an average of eight people every day. The ripple effects of these tragic events extend far beyond the individual, impacting friends, families, colleagues, and the wider community. It is particularly concerning that the Gippsland region experiences higher rates of suicide than the national average. Therefore, it is crucial that our community is equipped to identify and support those who may be struggling and experiencing thoughts of suicide.

To address this pressing issue, Lifeline Gippsland Shop - Wonthaggi offers a comprehensive range of mental health and suicide prevention training programs. Our offerings include Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), MHFA NSSI, ASIST, Mind Your Mates, and Lifeline's Accidental Counsellor. These programs aim to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide effective support to those in need. If you are unsure about which training program best suits your needs, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team.

It is important to note that the funds generated from our training programs directly contribute to supporting our 24/7 crisis line, 13 11 14. By participating in our training, you not only enhance your own skills but also play a vital role in ensuring that Lifeline can continue providing essential crisis support to those in need.

At Lifeline Gippsland Shop - Wonthaggi, we are committed to making a difference in our community. Join us in our mission to create a resilient society and prevent suicide. Together, we can build an Australia where no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
