What’s Happening at Lifeline? Kidsline Takes its 11,000th Call this year Kidsline has recently exceeded the 11,000 calls mark this year. 2008 will be the busiest year to date for the national telephone counselling service for children.
"There’s been a huge increase in demand for Kidsline’s services in the last few years. Monthly calls to the number have increased threefold over the last three years.” says Richard Taggart, Kidsline’s Manager. Luckily, there is no shortage of Buddies to handle calls. Recruitment for the new intake of Buddies closed on 31st October with high numbers of local Year 11 students submitting applications.

Our thanks to the many pairs of hands that made the night such a success and to all of those who came along on the night to show their generous support.
Lifeline 24/7 Lifeline 24/7 is preparing for its busiest time of year as we approach Christmas. Increased demand to the 24/7 service over the last year has led us to look at improvements to our telephone platform. It now loooks likely that TelstraClear likely will assist us in upgrading the telephone platforms.
Living Works Living Works is embarking on an adaptation of the training program. They are currently talking with various agencies including the Ministry of Health, Auckland University, Te Peu Research Centre and others to form three Reference Groups (clinical, Maori and Pacific Islander) to advice the process.
