  • Summary

  • New statistics out from Lifeline this week have revealed a surge in contacts made to the crisis line in 2024.

    More than 110 thousand calls for help have been made to the helpline since January with money worries dominating conversations, with October 7th was the busiest day of the year. We’re told all the time to reach out to Lifeline if we need help, but what is it actually like to call a mental health crisis line? What do you talk about? What sort of help can they offer? And will it actually make a difference?

    On today’s episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt speaks with Michael, someone who has been there, to find out.

    We’ve withheld Michael’s full name for privacy reasons.
