Some members of our community may not have friends and family nearby or might struggle with technology so it is important that they feel there are people locally that care and available chat.
If you feel you or the residents you are speaking to are not coping, it is important to talk with a health professional. For support with grief, anxiety, distress or mental wellbeing, you or the person you are talking to can call or text 1737 – free, anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – to talk with a trained counsellor.

There will be some residents that just want someone to talk to, so it is important to have patience and sympathy for their situation. If you feel the person might need additional help please advice the Control Centre.
