• prev: 15.2 Suicide Prevention: Australia: Australian phone books contain a Community Health & Welfare page in the front section which lists organisations and services which are available to help deal with a wide variety of problems including suicide. Most major cities have a number of local crisis counselling or referral services, many of which are available 24 hours. This page is probably the best list of your local resources you'll find. Lifeline is a 24 hour telephone crisis counselling service with 38 centres nation-wide. It is available for the cost of a local call from anywhere in Australia on the phone number 13 1114, with calls diverted to the nearest centre that is available. Lifeline handles problems such as suicide, depression, loneliness, relationship problems, drug and alcohol abuse, and so on in a caring, supporting, non-interventionist manner. Some centres can also offer face to face counselling if necessary, or else can refer to local counselling services, suicide survivor groups, self-help groups, or other agencies for longer term support. For more info, see: http://www.lifeline.org.au/ Kids Help Line is a 24 hour help line aimed at young people under 18 and available nationwide on freecall phone number 1800 55 1800.
