Connect to call – CATCH program

The CATCH program was funded by LHA to enable Latrobe Valley residents to navigate personal crisis via phone or text support. The CATCH Coach provided ongoing empathic support for a period of twelve weeks to assist individuals in building resilience, containing and alleviating emotional distress, and affirming self-efficacy.  The project was successful in achieving its objectives, including:

• Increased safety of people experiencing a crisis;
• Increased social connection and networks, including family, friends, and community and service providers where required;
• Increased resilience and containment and alleviation of emotional distress
• Increased engagement with community-based support services.
