Description:
MATES Cafe is a network of everyday people of all ages, cultures and ethnicity (including teens, elders and lgbt+) who are trained to support a person in crisis or isolation through our online and offline community, providing emotional support and encouragement.
MATES are here:
To help people of all ages, gender, culture, ethnicity and personal beliefs through the challenges and tough times of life including relationship breakdown, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, bullying, loneliness and isolation. MATES are trained to be there for someone in need and helping them through a point of crisis in their life. It’s not about therapy, fixing or giving advice, just simply listening and helping them to find new direction in their life.
MATES continue to reduce the alarming statistics of social dysfunction through:
– Face-to-face crisis support from our trained MATES facilitators online via Skype
– Provide MATES to be there for those in a time of need and therefore eliminate isolation
– State-of-art programs to help people overcome their emotional triggers
– Relationship support and programs to help bring people together
