Lifeline Connect offers a welcoming and confidential space where residents can drop in for a chat and receive compassionate support from trained Lifeline volunteers. This service is designed to provide a listening ear in a non-judgmental and caring environment, perfect for anyone seeking emotional support.
Each session is staffed by skilled volunteers who are ready to listen and help you navigate through difficult times. Whether you need advice, someone to talk to, or just a moment of understanding, Lifeline Connect is here for you.
This ongoing weekly event is ideal for parents who want to find a supportive community resource or for anyone in the Hornsby area looking for a safe place to share their feelings.
Sessions run every Thursday from 13:00 to 17:30, starting 15 January 2026 through to 17 December 2026. You can drop in anytime during these hours without a booking, making it flexible for busy family schedules.
The service is free of charge and open to all residents. It is presented in partnership with Hornsby Shire Council, ensuring a trusted and community-focused environment.
Volunteers are trained to provide empathetic listening and support, but this is not a crisis service. It is best suited for those seeking ongoing emotional support or someone to talk to.
Lifeline Connect takes place at Hornsby Library, located at 28-44 George Street, Hornsby, NSW 2077. The library is easily accessible by public transport and offers parking nearby.
The venue is wheelchair accessible and provides a quiet, comfortable space for conversations.
Families can combine a visit to the library with this supportive service, making it a convenient stop for parents and children alike.
The sessions are confidential and conducted in a safe environment to ensure privacy and comfort.
No prior booking is necessary, but you can choose to book if you prefer a guaranteed time slot.
This service is not a substitute for professional mental health care but is a valuable community support resource.
Volunteers are non-judgmental and trained to listen with compassion and respect.
Lifeline Connect is completely free to attend. You can drop in during the scheduled hours or make a booking if you prefer.
Bookings can be made through Hornsby Library or by contacting Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury.
