Community Services in Invercargill

Youthline Southland is a youth development organisation established in 1976. Youthline Southland is a local organisation providing support, information, crisis intervention, and referrals for young people through a range of services including helpline counselling, community education programmes, personal development workshops, counselling and suicide prevention skills training, and volunteer and career opportunities. Our services lower rates of abuse, violence, and self-harm by enabling clients to seek appropriate help, which subsequently increases the well-being of our community as a whole. Our purpose is to support Southland Youth through connection and engagement.

Family Works is here to support children, young people and their families, through challenging times in their life. We all need help from time to time and Family Works offers a range of social services, from counselling and social work support, through to buddy and parenting programmes. Services are confidential, free of charge and available no matter what your gender, religion or background may be. Family Works is a service of Presbyterian Support Southland.
