Established in 2004, Lifeline provides the only English speaking mental health support helpline and online chat service in Mainland China. We are a completely volunteer-based non-profit social entity.
We provide 12 hours of support every day, delivering a responsive and empowering service for those facing life challenges, experiencing emotional difficulties or having suicidal thoughts. We listen, support, and offer resources and referrals helping callers to take positive steps forward.
We understand crises can happen to anyone – regardless of economic resources, gender, age or nationality. Sometimes all that is needed is a listening ear.
