Life Line did not provide training for other than cuonsellors used in the service, the supervisor of Life Line (Mrs N. E. Johnston) said yesterday. Mrs Johnston was commenting on a recent report of a meeting of the Christchurch Teachers’ College Council which stated that staff members of the college were receiving training from the Life Line programme. “Much as we would like to give assistance to rhe manv people who have asked for it we cope only with our present programme to tram our own people,” Mrs Johnston said.
