Lifeline was conceptualized 24 years ago by the late Ravinder Singh with the vision to provide individuals a space to talk freely and anonymously. The Free Helpline helps the caller to unburden themselves in a confidential and non-judgemental environment. People call to vent and share their problems that are causing distress and pain in their lives.
