LifeLine Shanghai is a public benefit, non profit organization affiliated with and accredited by LifeLine International, a worldwide organization with representation in 22 countries and a corps of volunteers totaling more than 30,000. LifeLine International is funded in part by the World Health Organization. LifeLine Shanghai is self-funding and relies on the generous support it recieves from the community.
We are closely modeled on the highly successful Tokyo English Life Line (TELL), which was founded in 1973 and now fields more than 14,000 calls annually.
LifeLine Shanghai is the first confidential helpline support service for foreigners in Shanghai. It is free, confidential and anonymous. Launched in March 2004, our telephone helpline provides Shanghai's international community with easy access to effective, confidential counseling, crisis intervention, and information. Our administrative office space is generously donated by the Shanghai Centre.
LifeLine Shanghai aims to empower members of the Shanghai international community to address their needs and challenges by providing information and emotional support.
We carry out this mission by providing a free, confidential, anonymous telephone service staffed by trained volunteers from the international community.
LifeLine Shanghai's organizational structure consists of an Board of Governors whose members are drawn from the international community and who lend their expertise in support of our operations, and a small all-volunteer staff consisting of a Executive Director, Program Manager, Program Assistant, Training Manager, Outreach Manager, IT Manager and In-house psychologist.
LifeLine Shanghai is hiring.
