Central South Island
Youthline Central South Island
We run the Mental Health Allies, peer support in schools, Mental Health First Aid training, opportunities for volunteering, and provide resources for your wellbeing.
Youthline Central South Island supports rangatahi across the top half of Te Wai Pounamu, from Waitaki to Tasman Districts.
We are a registered Charity and started in 1970. We support young people’s development.
We have four centres; Ōtautahi-Christchurch, Tasman-Nelson, Wairau-Marlborough, and Timaru.
We are a volunteer led charity with 70 volunteers providing our service, trained and supported by a few staff. We encourage young people to be involved and lead in our communities.
We are independent from Youthline Auckland (trading as Youthline NZ).

Services
Online Mentoring
Get someone on your side. The Allies are young adults providing one-to-one support. All done on your mobile.
Peer Support
We'll train and support your school or youth group to look out for your younger members.
Mental Health First Aid
Do our interactive 2.5 hour training so you know how to help someone who comes to you in crisis. Free for groups of young people.
Volunteer With Us
Help others. We’ll train you up and support you to make a difference. Volunteer for the helpline, workshops, or fundraising events. We welcome, support, and train volunteers to staff the helpline, train young people, mentor others, and govern the organisation. We are looking for helpline counsellors, and training presenters in schools.
Support Our Work
We welcome and appreciate groups running fundraising events for our young people. Run a fundraising event such as a mufti day, market, raffle, cake stall, or an auction. Or even setting up a gift in your will. Let us know what you plan to do, and if we can help with resources, such as our fundraising kit with buckets, T-shirts and Youthline information.
We wish to thank our supporters for making it happen
