Approaches
We’re here to listen to you and support you with 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services, counselling and community support programs.

ECLIPSE Support Group
For adults after a suicide attempt
The ECLIPSE support group is an opportunity to speak with others who have survived a suicide attempt and learn skills that can help when distressing feelings and thoughts of suicide arise.
-
Suicide bereavement
Support program and group
Our suicide bereavement program and open group both offer a safe and comfortable environment to discuss feelings and experiences associated with your loss, surrounded by people who know what you’re going through.
-
Counselling
Reach out
We all experience fluctuations in our mental health that can impact us from day to day, but if you’re experiencing thoughts of suicide, or care for someone who does, it’s vital to find caring support.
At Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury Sydney, our approach is based on clinical research and evidence that indicates the best way to prevent suicide is to build resilience and wellbeing, working across a person’s whole life experience and with the people and community around them.
We offer Personal Counselling Services for those times when life is challenging. Or, if you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan and have been referred by your GP or psychiatrist, please see our Psychological Counselling Services.
Our trained counsellors are here to listen and guide you toward positive mental health.Find out more about counselling services
