Unconditional love and kindness are the keys to a resilient community. At the best of times things can get stressful and anxiety can spiral out of control. That is when we all need someone to talk to and gain a fresh perspective on things. Who better than a friend, neighbour, or local person with a big heart, who is willing to listen and help.  We have a number of caring & trained local volunteers, who are willing to help support people in the community. While we are not able to get physically close due to health alerts or travel constraints, there are still opportunities to connect over the phone or internet. People might feel apprehensive to call a stranger on a generic support line, but we are all locals, who are here for each other, no matter how large or small the situation.

If you or someone you know needs a LOCAL PERSON or maybe a  TRAINED COUNSELLOR to engage with then please email or phone us.
