A Message from Tina
  • I am setting up a new group for psychosocial supporters in Dominica. Those people who want to help others by being available, mostly online, to communicate with and give informed advice -- such as signposting people to services including medical staff, professional counsellors, psychiatrists, churches, NGOs or government resources. Lifeline will provide information, contacts and support. If you are interested, send me a private message detailing what training you have had or organization / church you belong to (if any) with a number and  an email and I will include you in the network.
