About 1737


      <div class='featured'>

          <source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcset="/images/news/peer-support-banner-mobile.jpg">
          <source media="(min-width: 768px)" srcset="/images/news/peer-support-banner.jpg">

        </picture>  
      </div>
      <p>
        When you phone 1737 you now have the option to talk to someone with lived experience of wairangi/mental
        distress who is trained to provide tautoko/support.
      </p>
      <p>
        If that sounds like something you’d like... phone 1737 and when you do, select the ‘peer support’ option in
        the first stage of the call.
      </p>

      <h4>
        What is “peer support”?
      </h4>
      <p>
        The 1737 Peer Support workers you’ll talk with have been there. We have experienced similar life pressures to
        you and can share with you how we have made things work for us.
      </p>
      <p>
        We want to hear your story. We’ll awhi/support you to make some sense of your own experiences. We want to
        share what we’ve learnt. We think people who have ‘been there’ have something meaningful to share with each
        other.
      </p>

      <h4>
        What do you need to know?
      </h4>
      <p>
        The service is completely free and confidential.</p>
      <p>
        1737 Peer Support operates a little differently from the existing 1737 counsellor support:
      </p>
      <ul>
        <li>
          1737 Peer Support operates daily, but just between 2pm-10pm. (However, 1737 counsellors are still as
          always available 24/7).
        </li>
        <li>
          You need to phone 1737 and talk directly to a 1737 Peer Support team member. You cannot have a text
          conversation with a peer support worker.
        </li>
      </ul>
      <h4>
        Who are the Peer Support team?
      </h4>
      <p>
        1737 Peer Support is staffed by trained peer support workers from <a target="_blank" href="https://mindandbody.co.nz/">Mind&amp;Body</a>. 
        They are people with lived experience who can support others with wairangi/mental distress.
      </p>
  

1737 Peer Support


      <p>
      It's ok to reach out for help – never hesitate if you are concerned for someone else or yourself.
      </p><p>
        If you are experiencing a mental health emergency please contact your <a href="https://info.health.nz/mental-health/crisis-assessment-teams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">local Crisis team</a>.  
        If this is not an emergency but you would like to talk to a trained counsellor for free 24/7 confidential help, advice or support, you can <a aria-label="tel 1737" href="tel:1737">free call</a> or <a href="sms:1737">text 1737</a> any time for support from a trained counsellor.
      </p>

      <h4>In the event of a life-threatening emergency:</h4>
      <ul><li>Please phone 111</li>
      <li>Or go to your nearest hospital emergency department (ED)</li>
      

What to do in crisis


    <p>
    The 1737 team provides brief counselling support, identifying key issues, helping plan some steps to take and, in many cases, connecting with more comprehensive support services available. 1737 is not a Crisis team or a mental health service for people with severe mental illness or psychological distress. 
    <br />We often support people with:
    </p>
    <ul>
        <li>
            Depression/sadness
        </li>
        <li>
          Relationship issues (family, friends, partner)
        </li>
        <li>
          Anxiety/fear
        </li>
        <li>
        Grief, loss, and life changing events
        </li>
        <li>
          Stress at work/home/school/university or tech
        </li>
        <li>
          Isolation and loneliness
        </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      If you’d like to promote 1737 and let people know we are here to support them with any of these situations that would be great. 
      </p>
      <p>
      If you’d like some ideas on how to promote 1737, please take a look at what our community champions are up to.
      </p>
      <p>
      If you are unsure whether 1737 is the right support service to promote for your needs, please contact us. We may be able to suggest other services that will be a better fit; we can also help with your messaging, so people get the best support for their needs. Examples could be:
    </p>
    
    <ul>
        <li>
        Sexual harm and domestic violence
        </li>
        <li>
        Addictions and problem gambling
        </li>
        <li>
        Suicide and self-harm
        </li>
    </ul>
