This comprehensive directory collates information on thousands of support services such as helplines.Recognising the importance of widespread access and needs of prospective partners, we've innovated methods to share this directory: organisations can now incorporate it into their platforms via co-branded sites, widgets, or APIs. Through these efforts, countless individuals in the community can been granted easier and more direct paths to the help they need in challenging times.The key stakeholders are partner organisations who will distribute the Support Directory to help people in need. Prospective partners had been consulted through the research and development process.
