THE PROBLEM

Anxiety, Boredom, Stress out with family members, Lost about future.. 

I really need someone to talk to !!

Ever since the increasing cases of Covid-19 outbreak and announcement of movement control order, people started to face different changes in their life: Business, Job security, Family issues… The usual friends gathering and real face-to-face interaction have been unavailable. Loneliness, overthinking, worry, calling for help was something real inside of our mind....

The above are the voices, which keep reminding our counselling volunteers and management operation to stand still and give unconditional mental support to the people in this crisis.

 

THE SOLUTION

We are moved to keep our free counselling services available to the public in these tough periods. We are there to lend the ears to them, and be their mirror, to see through the issues and feel better from the deepened negative feelings. Meanwhile, the volunteers are working on different topics of life issues ( Parenting, Marriage Relationship, Emotion abuse) and spreading the awareness of taking care of inner self in this critical period, through social media. Life is challenging, but the mission to be with those in need of mental support keeps us connected to the community.

Every life is precious yet special. We are ready to hear you.

You support could help us to continue our free of charge counselling services.

Dear donors, are you agree to support our mission in this coming wave of mental health crisis?

 

THE IMPACT

The fund raised would help us to develop the operation and increase counselling support to the public who need it .  The usage of fund raised include the following:

  • Coordination of Counselling Services

  • Technical support of Counselling Services

  • Publish of online public awareness material through social media

宗旨

一、提供免付费线上通话辅导予社会大众。 

二、提升社会大众在行动管制期间对情绪的照顾。

三、陪伴社会大众重新看见生命的正向能量。

四、提升社会大众对各生命教育主题的认知与关怀。

 

 随着疫情的蔓延及全球的居家隔离措施下，社会大众开始了有别以往的生活形式。短短的一个月疫情暴发及行动管制令下，马来西亚的家暴、个人情绪问题明显有了上升的趋势。民众因这次的疫情而开始面对了家庭、工作、及对未来迷茫的问题，加剧了本身的情绪失控，危害了心理健康。

 

马来西亚生命线协会作为本土一间以电话辅导为核心服务的非政治、非宗教之非营利组织，在这次的疫情期间，也不断做出努力。在推出了线上通话辅导之外，也积极推广了《全民抗疫。自助助人》的线上活动，希望可以在这关键的时刻持续扮演抢救社会心理健康的角色

 

在此，本会恳请各社会人士支持由生命线协会辅导组在疫情期间带领的免付费通话辅导服务.

About the Organization/Project behind this Campaign

Life Line Association Malaysia

Brief Introduction To Life Line Association Malaysia

Since 8 April 1993, Life Line Association Malaysia has been officially registered as a non- profit , non-religious and non-government organization. 

Dedicated to serve the community on the concept of "A life could influence another life", Life Line volunteers provide below services:

• Counselling Hotline: 03-42657995 , Email Counselling: counselling@lifeline.org.my, Face-to-Face Counselling,

• Educational programs, 

• Charitable activities, 

to assist people in exploring new hope in their lives. 

Our Commitment

Dedicated to serve the community on the concept of “Help is as close as the telephone”, over a thousand volunteers have been trained by LLAM to provide care and concern to those who lack of self-confidence, hope or love in life. Through free of charges telephone counselling, face to face counselling, social education, charitable activities, and so on, we assist them to explore new hope in their lives. Throughout the past 26 years, we have been attending to more than 25,000 counselling cases and supporting the community through their difficulties. 

Our Vision 

• To train more volunteers in order to provide 24 hours telephone counseling services;

• To build long-term partnerships with local and overseas’ agencies to promote social education and to build a harmonious society;

• To consistently strengthen and to achieve professionalism in volunteer training so that our volunteers can continue to offer excellent services to the community; and

• To employ full time professionals for the promotion of charitable works and to ensure all Life Line activities could meet the needs of people from different socioeconomic background so that more people can be benefited.

Spirit of “Seek for Help”

Life Line Association Malaysia strives to promote the spirit of "self-help " and " seek for help" when individual fail to cope. From the telephone counselling in the early stage, expansion to face to face and email counselling, until the play therapy for the children, we provide care and companion to those who "seek for help". 

 

Spirit of “Self- Help”

In addition, Life Line actively organizes talks, seminars, workshops, camps, social care and charity activities like blood donation drives, environment protection project and old folks visit to spread the knowledge of life education, in order to enhance the ability of "self- help" among the people. 

Nowadays, Life Line recruited around 200 volunteers and continuing the effort to prolong the counselling hours for building up a better mental health society. 

With the mission carried on, we do hope Life Line could get the support from public and government.
