Lifeline Aotearoa is a New Zealand mental health care organization that provides free, confidential crisis support to people at risk of suicide or in distress. Its main services include the 0800 LIFELINE helpline, the Suicide Crisis Helpline 0508 TAUTOKO, and the HELP text service, all staffed by trained counsellors. The organization aims to reduce distress and save lives, while raising awareness of suicide prevention and tackling stigma, working with others in the health and social sector. Based in Ellerslie, Auckland, Lifeline Aotearoa has a long-standing presence in the sector and is part of Presbyterian Support Northern. The helplines are free to callers and do not receive government funding, relying on public donations. A recent development noted in news reports is a personnel change, with a counsellor departing Lifeline in 2025.
