“It may sound cheesy, but this service has got capacity to change the lives of individuals just through open lines of communication. Even though I am not a mental health nursing student, I can directly see the mental health problems that emerge from being isolated and lonely. As training professionals, we should constantly be striving to provide supportive services by taking a fraction of our day to sit and chat to someone who needs it!”
