After two years of collaboration between volunteers from various Nightlines across Europe, Nightline Europe is proud to launch its Starter Kit!
What is it ? The starter kit is a practical tool designed to support students, organizations, and institutions wishing to create their own Nightline service.
Our goal with this project is to make the launching of a Nightline more accessible and to support the development of peer-to-peer mental health initiatives across Europe.
Since the first Nightline was founded in Essex in 1970, more than 70 Nightlines have emerged around the world, with students driven by a common will: helping other students. These initiatives can be driven locally for instance by a volunteer going on an Erasmus exchange and discovering the Nightline Model, wanting to implement it in its own country.
This project was built with the involvement of members from our Network. They helped us gather practical advice, tools, and knowledge learned from their experience.
We truly hope that this guide will provide the visibility and support needed by students for opening Nightlines. Moreover this project is aligned with our core values : encouraging more student-led initiatives, and developing “by and for students” mental health services throughout Europe.
You are not alone in this: Nightline Europe supports you!
