Emergency help

'rippa mate' is not a counselling service or help provider in itself, but is a conduit to professional organisations who provide incredible support in the Mental Health sector of our community. 

If you or someone close to you is in distress or immediate danger dial 000 as soon as possible.

Some people may have suicidal thoughts when things are too hard and painful. If you feel like life is no longer worth living, it’s really important to seek immediate help. With help, you can overcome these thoughts and stay safe.
