LIFELINE DURBAN
AMBASSADOR
Hello, I am Rene Tshiakanyi singer/songwriter and the Lifeline Durban Ambassador. I would like to encourage everyone to call Lifeline on 031 303 1344 for help.
I am involved with Lifeline Durban as an Ambassador to encourage people to recognise when they need help and to most importantly reach out to get that help.
There are many events in our lives that can have a huge impact on our mental wellbeing, relationships and finances; including getting married, having children, losing a job or being made redundant, and divorce and separation to name a few.
I can relate because I have struggled with some of those life events at different times and I wish I had known about the valuable support Lifeline Durban provides to people in crisis.
Now I know better, I know that it’s OK to reach out for support, that there is always someone at the end of the phone who can help.
Since I started working with Lifeline Durban, I have learnt that men are three times more likely to take their own lives than women, However, men are the least likely to call the 031 303 1344 for help.
Let’s be part of the change.
