Counselling and wellbeing

UnitingCare is here for you, through Lifeline’s 24-hour crisis support services; specialised programs for children and their families; and hospital-based mental health services.

Being young isn’t always easy, which is why we work hard to provide young people who may feel disconnected and alone with the support to live engaging lives and build resilience.

Financial difficulties can fall on anyone at any time. The good news is that as a not-for-profit organisation, UnitingCare can provide you with free financial counselling that works.

Free and confidential gambling counselling, support and information to people who are negatively affected by gambling in far north Queensland, and the Wide Bay and Burnett region.

Lifeline’s Community Recovery Team looks after a community’s emotional and psychosocial wellbeing following accidents or disasters such as floods, cyclones, bushfires and major health emergencies.

We offer residential alcohol and other drug rehabilitation services, predominantly to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, specialising in culturally appropriate healing services.

Our Counselling Service offers a safe, confidential space to talk through emotional and psychological concerns with qualified counsellors.

Prison Ministry helps prisoners and their families cope during a difficult time of separation. We organise volunteer chaplains for spiritual and emotional support, food hampers, art therapy and much more.

We offer support for seniors, whatever their situation — whether they are experiencing elder abuse, are primary carers for grandchildren, or simply looking for information on local services.

In Queensland, UnitingCare operates Lifeline shops and services, including the 13 11 14 Crisis Support Line; suicide bereavement and prevention programs; and disaster recovery.
