About this service
In every community there are people whom others naturally turn to for support. They are from all walks of life and are considered by others to be helpers. Helpers learn a variety of topics and skills including effective communication, self-care, coping with stress, knowing when to refer people to professional services, handling crisis situations, and suicide awareness.
Objectives of the Community Helpers Program include:
- Bridge formal and informal support for young people
- Early identification of young people who may be at risk
- Prevention and early intervention
- Provide young people and community with accurate information and resources
- Link young people to existing service providers
- Build community capacity for mental health promotion
- Reduce stigma of mental health and suicide by raising awareness and understanding of the factors that contribute to poor mental health and suicide
This is NOT a counselling or crisis service.
